About Twelve Archetypes Jung Introduced

By Young Lindsay


Famous Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that there are three basic parts of the human psyche. He called these three parts the ego and the personal and the collective unconscious. There are twelve basic archetypes Jung introduced, and some are really different types of Ego, Soul and Self. All combinations are possible and different combinations form character.

According to this Jung's idea, everything is based on these archetypes, including science, religion and philosophy. These models of collective unconscious are inherited, and shape the way a person experience the world consciously. They are basically elementary structures, impossible to apprehend and common to all humanity. Their existence cannot be scientifically proven, but their actions are visible.

The Ego contains four basic types. The first one is called Innocent, although it might be also called naive, romantic or dreamer. He only wants to be happy, free and surrounded by positive things. Highly optimistic person. The Orphan is quite different. This person is afraid of being left alone and always tries to be connected to people. Really emphatic, as well as realistic. Sometimes called the good old boy.

The Hero is another Ego type. This one is often arrogant, but courageous, strong and mostly the team player. It is often called the crusader, soldier, winner and rescuer. The Caregiver loves all other people and desires to help and please them. Often called the saint, and sometimes parent, helper or supporter. His greatest desire is to do something for others. Finds his reason of existence in helping others.

The main Soul types are the Explorer, the Rebel, the Lover and the Creator. The Explorer is a pilgrim, a wanderer, a person who wants to explore unknown things and to find new horizons. He lives through his experiences. The Rebel is against all rules and enjoys breaking them. He is wild, enjoys shocking people around him, doesn't believe in set orders.
