theory of personality based on archetypes

[PadmaVonSamba]

Do you see any benefit to my system? I think it helps you / acts as a guide in understand how your unconscious / subconscious mind works. It brings it to the surface and gives you an understanding of how you approach the world around you. How you would approach careers and people and what strengths and weaknesses you have that best allow you to do this.

Way too long to read.
