What is my Archetype

 What type of Characters do I relate too psychologically.


The psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung, used the concept of archetype in his theory of the human psyche. He believed that universal, mythic characters—archetypes—reside within the collective unconscious of people the world over. Archetypes represent fundamental human motifs of our experience as we evolved; consequentially, they evoke deep emotions.

 

I identify with the following Archetypes in the following order.

1 The Caregiver

2. The Orphan/Regular Guy or Gal

3 The Jester

4 The Sage

5 The Hero

This gives me a playing range of Police Officer/Military Officer, Medical Professional,

 Social Worker, Youth Leader, Teacher/Professor, Parent or Man of faith.

With my life experience in the Hospitality sector both front & back of house

as well as being fortunate to have work in large Private house's

 this also gives me the scope and knowledge to play any roles within these kinds of areas.

But I am also not unaccustomed to Physical manual work Building or working in a Garage or out in the open on a Farm etc.
