About Archéa

Archéa is a free female archetypes quiz that shows how 8 feminine archetypes blend in one personality. The quiz asks 40 questions, scores the Queen, Lover, Sage, Maiden, Mother, Mystic, Huntress and Siren on equal terms, and returns a full profile in about 8 minutes.

Why we built Archéa

Most archetype quizzes give one label after a handful of questions. Real women carry several patterns at once, and a single label hides most of them. Archéa shows the whole blend: the archetype that leads, the one that supports, the one that is dormant and the shadow pattern that holds a woman back.

The framework behind the quiz

The quiz builds on the archetype theory of the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung and on the 7 goddess archetypes described by Jungian analyst Jean Shinoda Bolen in Goddesses in Everywoman (1984). Archéa adds an 8th archetype, the Siren, for social presence and expression.

How we write and review

The Archéa Editorial Team writes every question, result and article. Facts about Jung, Bolen and mythology are checked against their published works, and every statement about the quiz matches how the quiz scores answers.
