The concept of an archetype was introduced into the practice of psychoanalysis by the German psychologist Carl Jung. By his definition, an archetype is a universal mythological plot that is found in all world cultures. This behavioral plot is inherent in a certain psychotype and can act throughout a person's life, it can be interspersed with local ones, played out by him at a certain period. In some sets of archetypes, there can be dozens of them, we will consider four main ones from the esoteric model - Water, Earth, Fire and Air.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are trying to get to the bottom of everything, to see the psychological background of people's behavior, to determine the patterns hidden behind the facade of phenomena, you are a Water Man, a spontaneous esoteric. A characteristic feature of this archetype is the use of a specific language in colloquial speech, he loves to operate with professional terminology and use such phrases as: "if you understand", "in some way." A sense of elitism is inherent in water, which in low natures is expressed in arrogance and arrogance. At a high level, his elitism is coupled with a sense of responsibility and awareness of the significance of his actions.
Step 2
The Man of the Earth has the motto “I work!”, He can verbally recognize subtle matters, but in fact he believes only in material things. Often he takes responsibility and looks like a wet nurse who was given a child. She doesn't care who his parents are and how he grows up, her task is to feed and wash him. Man-Earth is more interested in deeds and actions than the laws and reasons that prompted them. He does not like abstract words, his speech is always concrete, he likes to use the words: "which", "this". Abstract thinking and perception are completely inaccessible to him, therefore, rethinking, he strives to concretize the incomprehensible and often gives it a completely different meaning, not the one that was originally laid down.
Step 3
The Man of Fire is a prophet, the symbol of his element is a song, this is a trumpet calling into battle. He feels himself to be the bearer of the highest will, carrying out a connection between subtle matters and the material world. This archetype is fanatic. Among them there are many priests and preachers who take upon themselves the responsibility to broadcast the will of the supreme deity to the rest. By the nature of his activity, Fire Man resembles a car with a powerful ignition system. If it works, there will be a lot of sound and visual effects, but without an engine (the elements of the Earth) this car will not go anywhere on its own. People of this archetype are not at all critical, especially those belonging to a low level of development.
Step 4
Awareness and summing up can be considered the motto of the Man of Air, its main genres are report and confession. He likes to use global or integral characteristics, there is no specifics in his speech, but there is a claim to wisdom in it. There are many journalists among them, those who conduct polls, collect information, accumulate and process it in order to present it to the authorities and the public.
