In the case of our PMAI test, we are labeled as individuals who are represented by different archetypes. Mine personally are;
Jester: you assume that life is meant to be enjoyed. I am complimented by this comment because I do see a little bit of myself as a jester, in awkward situations I do try to find the light in them and sometimes I tend to make a joke out of something that is semi serious to break the tension. I was a bit offended because the description says at the end that some people may think I don't take life seriously enough and that I need to get a life!
Creator: you assume what can be imagined can be created. I guess this description means I'm a bit of a visionary person. The description says that as a leader Creators are entrepreneurial, innovative and unorthodox. These are very important qualities to have in a leader, without having an innovative mind set than nothing would get done overall.
Lover: you assume that love is the answer. I realize that I always give people the benefit of the doubt and I think that this is because I initially love people and trust them. Sometimes this mind set can get a Lover in trouble or taken advantage of. As a leader, most often times leaders are passionate, charismatic and intense. Charisma was one of the most important character traits that I admired so I hope that this archetype about me is true!
I learned quite a bit about myself from taking this test, my active archetypes describe so much about why I have the views on things that I do. In a way it's comforting to have the label of being not only a Jester, or a creator, or a lover, but being all three!
Hey Ryann!!
ReplyDeleteIt is funny to see that we have a couple active archetypes in common. My most active was actually Creator and then Jester, I looked ahead and saw that Orphan was less active for and that was the same for me too.
As for our active archetypes, we both got to know each other a little more a few weeks ago and although we are both very friendly we seem a little more different than what appears. But it is nice to see I am not the only Jester who just wants to have fun in life. We both know when to work hard as well as play time. It shows that even different people can have the same archetype.
I have all of those archetypes active as well! I thought that was interesting since we are such good friends, and spend so much time together, we must be rubbing off on each other! haha
ReplyDeleteSo I can totally understand how you scored high in the Jester archetype! When you said "in awkward situations I do try to find the light in them and sometimes I tend to make a joke out of something that is semi serious to break the tension", this statement is so true. Working with you during the IAAPA week I totally saw this side come out of you, which I believe is the reason we worked so well. It was a good balance to have. In the future, I hope that my partner, or the person I work with the most, will have this quality too!
