Find out why you keep
repeating the same patterns.
Ever wonder why you keep ending up in the same situation — just with a different name?
15 questions · 2 minutes · Free
Most people repeat the same patterns — in relationships, at work, in how they handle conflict — without knowing why.
This isn't a personality quiz. It's a framework for seeing the parts of yourself you've been navigating around.
The archetypes don't tell you who you are — they show you where to look next.
How it works

See which of 12 archetypes are strongest in you — and what that means for your life and relationships.
Unlock deeper layers, interpret your dreams through Jung, or compare profiles with someone who matters.

Dream AnalysisInterpret your dreams
through a Jungian lens.
Write down what you dreamt. An AI trained in Jungian dream analysis interprets the symbols, emotions, and archetypes your unconscious is speaking through.
Includes a 5-phase dream curriculum — from recall techniques to lucid dreaming.
I built this because the archetypes gave me something no other framework did — not answers, but the courage to look closer. The inner world is vast, and most of us have barely scratched the surface.

Read the full story →Why This
Exists
After my last breakup I hit rock bottom. I was searching for anything that might explain what was happening inside me — why I kept repeating the same patterns, why certain wounds ran so deep. I went through phases of spiritual seeking, confirmation bias, coping mechanisms dressed up as insight. Some of it helped. Most of it didn't.
But when I came across Jung's archetypal theory, something was different. It wasn't telling me who I should be. It was showing me who I already was — from a perspective I hadn't considered. Not a fix, not a label. A mirror held at a new angle.
The more I explored it, the more I realized how few people actually know about this. Jung's ideas shaped modern psychology, but the archetypal framework that grew from his work never made it into the mainstream. I built this tool to make that mirror accessible. Fifteen honest questions, a full archetypal profile, and the kind of confrontation with yourself that no one else can do for you.

The Inner
Council Method
A psychology-informed archetype framework inspired by Carl Jung's theory of archetypes — refined into a practical method for understanding yourself and your relationships.
The method works across four dimensions. Each builds on the same archetype profile — your psychological fingerprint across 12 archetypal patterns.
A 15-question assessment across five psychological domains — motivation, behavior, relationships, fear, and identity. Your result: a complete archetype profile with tension reports, combination dynamics, shadow patterns, and situational guidance.
Includes 1 dream interpretation and the Dream Guide Phase I.
Five reflective layers (30 questions), six Jungian expansion modules, and a complete psyche map. Reveals childhood imprints, crisis patterns, and the life you haven't lived yet.
Includes 5 dream interpretations per month, the full Dream Guide (all 5 phases), and the full Relationship Mirror.
Your unconscious speaks through dreams. Get AI-powered Jungian dream interpretations, the complete Dream Guide (5 phases), and archetype-linked dream analysis.
1 free interpretation included. 5 per month with Deeper Layers.
Archetypes don't exist in isolation. Invite a partner, colleague, or friend to take the assessment — then compare profiles side by side. See where you resonate, where you clash, and where you can grow together.
Lite comparison is free. Full depth — tension dynamics, shadow interactions, communication guide — included with Deeper Layers.
Carl Jung proposed that the psyche organizes itself around recurring archetypal patterns — universal tendencies of thought, image, and motivation that appear across cultures, myths, and individuals. The Inner Council Method is inspired by this framework, using twelve archetypal patterns as a practical lens: not to define you, but to illuminate the forces already shaping your decisions, relationships, and blind spots. The specific twelve-archetype model draws on later Jungian scholarship, particularly the work of Carol S. Pearson.
Everything starts with the 15-question assessment
Archetypes
Archetypes are universal psychological patterns — recurring figures that appear in myths, dreams, and behaviour across every culture and era. Carl Jung proposed them as inherited structures of the unconscious: not memories, but tendencies. Templates for how a person might feel, think, and act in recurring situations.
Each archetype has gifts — its natural strengths — and a shadow: a distorted version of those same qualities that operates from fear rather than strength. All twelve are below.
Every archetype here has a shadow side — not a separate pattern, but a distorted version of itself. The Hero's shadow drives toward achievement to avoid stillness. The Caregiver's gives endlessly, unable to ask for anything in return. The Sage's converts feeling into analysis before it can be felt.
In the assessment, your shadow is the archetype that scored lowest. It represents the qualities you most actively avoid, dismiss in others, or react to out of proportion. It operates from outside awareness — which is exactly what makes it worth looking at.
MBTI and similar frameworks measure how you process experience — cognitive preferences, decision-making style. These archetypes map something different: what drives you, what you fear, how you create meaning. Two people with identical MBTI types can have completely different archetypes and therefore completely different inner lives. The frameworks address different layers.
