Thanks Lukas. I'm not surprised you have a dominant Sage archetype.
The Sage also comes with an ability to pass on wisdom and support others towards reaching their highest potentials (Mentor subtype). Maybe that can give you a clue.

Great read! While I can see how archetypes can be a guide, I feel it could be too easy to fall into this trap of saying I’m an Explorer therefore I should focus on Y and once again get stuck in guru mode. That doesn’t mean I think they’re not useful, it’s just a problem you could walk into.
Do you have a book by CG Jung on the archetypes? Would be interested to read more on them.
It's important to note that I'm not suggesting to use the archetypes as a label, like "I'm an Explorer." We posses all the archetypes, developed to a different degree. They give you insights so you can INTEGRATE them.
The 12 archetypes are just a model and Jung probably wouldn't agree on them. His philosophy goes much deeper. But it's not easy to grasp and can feel abstract. That's why I used the 12-archetype model. They make it immediately actionable.
If you're interested in Jung's view on archetypes I would suggest "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious." If you want a lighter read on the 12 archetypes I suggest "Awakening the Heroes Within" by Carol S. Pearson.
Reframing "business problem" to "self-knowledge problem" is a crucial insight that most creators miss. That "self-knowledge" helps you define your "why."
A Sage and an Explorer can both tackle the same niche (for instance, "creator burnout"), but their approach, their voice, and their solution will be worlds apart.
Integration is such a crucial point... and a life-long journey.
Awareness is the first step. Understanding your archetypal constellation is insightful, but the next step is integration. I'm working on a model for that. Personally, dreamwork has been a game-changer for me. But that's not something you can put into an article or book even.
Great article, Philipp.
Made me go back to my test results from that excellent quiz you designed—Sage archetype.
Need to reflect more on how I can bring more of this into my work & writing.

Sounds great, thanks Philipp!
Great Post. What archetype would fit you, Philipp?
Thanks Alex. You will mostly see Sage and Magician, but the beauty of the archetypes is that you're not one or the other. You're all of them.

This piece is elevated but also accessible. I appreciate the clarity you brought here thank you.
A brilliant read, Philipp!
