Male Masculine Archetype Test - Personality test results

The male mascular archetype test consists of a series of questions about your personality, values, and behaviors, and then categorize you into one of several archetypes. Its not scientifically proven and does not define or identify a person. More than it categorize men based on pattern or bahviours, which are categorized to four mains traits: King, Lover, Warrior, and a Magician.



I've been introduced to this topic recently. And as someone who's curious and love to discover. I've taken the tests from several sources out of fun and curiousity. In this blog, I will share a result of one test that was based on a book by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillitte. And it did not differ from other results dramatically, more than its based on known sources that you can look after. SO HERE WE GO

King 80%

Core Qualities: The King archetype represents the wise and benevolent leader who is able to make hard decisions when needed, for the better good. Think of a king who guides with fairness, wisdom and a strong sense of responsibility.

Shadow/Immature Aspects: The immature King might display behavior of seeking control for the sake of power, rather than taking on the weight of responsibility. Alternatively there may be indecisiveness or an unwillingness to be accountable.

Mature Aspects: A mature King is a compassionate leader who offers guidance, support and promotes an environment where others can thrive, while being firm and assertive if needed.

Warrior 70%

Core Qualities: The Warrior archetype embodies strength, bravery and a clear sense of purpose. Imagine a soldier ready to defend and protect who is aware of his abilities and does not use his force to abuse others.

Shadow/Immature Aspects: An immature Warrior may channel aggression resorting to destructive violence and abuse, or becoming excessively competitive. Conversely there may also be a lack of courage, or a tendency to avoid conflict.

Mature Aspects: A mature Warrior is disciplined, resilient and fights for justice. This archetype encourages healthy competition, courage in confronting life’s hardships and challenges, and a commitment to protecting others.

Magician 75%

Core Qualities: The Magician archetype is associated with wisdom, intuition, and the ability to facilitate transformative change. Imagine a wise mentor who uses his natural talents, skills and knowledge to guide others through the mysteries of life.

Shadow/Immature Aspects: An inexperienced Magician could misuse their abilities and knowledge for personal gain, resorting to manipulation or deception. On the opposite side, there might be a fear of change or a reluctance to embrace one’s potential for transformation.

Mature Aspects: A seasoned Magician uses his power, wisdom and intuition for transformation. This archetype promotes wisdom, self-awareness and empathy towards oneself and others, fostering growth and facilitating positive change.

Lover 75%

Core Qualities: The Lover archetype embodies passion, connection and deep emotional engagement. Think of someone who brings intensity and joy into relationships.

Shadow/Immature Aspects: An immature Lover may struggle with unhealthy attachment, displaying too much possessiveness or superficial connection on the opposite end - there may be a fear of intimacy or an inability to fully engage with his present reality.

Mature Aspects: A mature Lover cultivates authentic, meaningful connections with others. In its fullest expression, this archetype encourages deep and intimate relating, and an authentic embrace of all that life offers, including it’s pain and adversity.

And life goes on..

Ethical Dilemma: Man Vs. Earth



One of the biggest and controversial question to be asked is about the conflict between overpopulation versus overconsumption (the limitation of supply resources) & environmental challenges. Would you rather get rid of half of humanity to save the human future generation form extinct due to starvation, lack of resources and habitability of the planet? This is an ethical question and hard to respond to. Either way, it will be hard to apply the best method. 

This kind of question is causing an ethical dilemma! It makes you think through the consequences of the action, and have in consideration whether its morally accepted if applied. 

Dan Brown's book "Inferno" was asking the same question. The villain (Or you may say the good character" in this story is a mad scientist, who wants to spread "Infect" a virus to kill as many people as this infection would. So that the earth will be saved, and its resources will be enough to those who recovered from the infection. The book itself is remarkable and catches the history of the places combined with real-life facts and knowledge. It provides the information to you in a very simple and enjoyable to read way. 

Through History, the earth had 5 major mass extinctions. Many Natural disasters. The earth stood still and recovered, and the human race was recovering as well. However, these natural disasters were made obviously by nature, we can say it is a god's plan. 

However, when it comes from a human act. Wars like: World War I & II, Mangoul conquests, French Civil war, and many more through history. Animal Viruses Transmitted to Humans like Plaque and Spanish Flu for example. Even the most recent Corona Virus (Covid-19). Modern Technology and it is effects on nature. How we can determine if these are good to have for a better future to the next generations and the planet as well.

Cities like London and New York. They both had a great fire in separate times. Tokyo and Berlin were both destroyed entirely during World War II. All these cities had their chance and recover to become more powerful and stronger due to these incidents. They had the technology, population, and ego reached the highest peak. Millions of people were wiped out during these events. If these events didn't happen, what would be like for those cities? Do you think it will be a better place? Or it was worth losing all those lives? For the sake of Humanity and the planet.

The global economic system will have a recession. If the countries didn't apply a temporary total shutdown and curfew to contain the virus, then they will increase the number of infected people, and death toll as well. But it will save the economy. If we reverse the formula, we will save people but will have some countries fall down due to economic crises, middle and lower classes people will suffer, and normalizing things may need time to recover. So, the question: Is it ethical to sacrifice part of your population to save the rest? Or Should all suffer the consequences and country instability?

Most recent reports and images about covid-19 and Air pollution show clearly how the earth is recovering from climate change made by humans. Climate change issues are a global problem that has not been actively addressed and taken seriously by humans. Yet, it is a serious problem that may impact the lives of all living species in the near future. This positive change is temporary and causes by having the human activities reduced to its minimum capabilities, especially in places with most affected with the virus. Do you feel happy to hear such news? having in mind many people lost their lives, jobs and way of a decent living.


It is very hard to answer this question? As both have the right and wrong answer. I believe it is not the right question to ask. I believe that human nature by itself is the problem to humanity and earth! 

Narcissism, Polarization, and inequity are the big issues that need to be resolved. Narcissism with all technology and development being made, expansion of cities, Plastic waste or even sex and birth of a new child without taking any consideration or actions to study their effects on the environment and the public interest. Polarization in having some countries control others by means of war, money or even influence, without having in consideration to the people's lives and land. Inequity in jobs, resources used, money and even social equity. The list of human contributions and their negative consequences are many. 

The earth has all the resources needed if used wisely. Humans need to stand together through crises. Legalize laws to protect the environment, Birth control, and social equity. Put these in action.  

It would be okay to have nature do her job to balance the population with the resources, but I would not accept human interference to make the problem bigger than it should be. Reaching the point to ask such a controversial question.

I've been recently having hardships in my life: Personally and at work.
Mainly these things are not due to my actions more than actions from the surrounded people or events, affecting my way of looking to life, and my future.

I feel like these things happen as a pattern; repeated over and over again.

Every time I'm trying to do something or think positively, I face something which holds me back.

Personally, I'm now worried about my mom's health, my future, feeling confused about how to deal with things.

Plus, I'm being pushed recently, to make a certain decision in regards to my future life.

This is mainly done by my family "Brothers, sisters-in-law" and sometimes by friends.

I may say it is not a new one. But I don't know why I always fight back, or take a laugh and say nothing.

I still have this set of mind of hesitating to do this, in the same way, I'm welcoming this.

I have this friend, who usually I have a deep conversation within everything, have many mutual interests. He once said: "it is not that you don't accept the idea more than your sub-conscious is refusing it for some reason, it is like you have an incomplete business! and you think you are not ready until you've done with this business" 

That really trigged me, I remember my mind was storming all night thinking.

Why would my sub-conscious refuse? Did he just say it? At some point, he's right, at another perspective, he is not. Maybe, I simply feel I'm not ready for the next step, have enough courage to go higher or able to take the responsibility or look brightly to the future. Not about this only, but I might be afraid of many things.


I also have some concerns about my work, my future. it is mainly about having self-confidence.

It is the first time in my life that I feel like I'm not good enough to perform a certain job 

I remember  a quote from an Arabic psychological book I read "الخروج من النص" which meant something to me when reading it, I will try to summarize it

"Be yourself, don't be someone who they want you to be! Don't let people used you and build their personal dreams over you. Be yourself, fight back, build value for yourself. You are on a journey of back and forth. Accept yourself for who you are and move forward."

Well, I can understand every single word of this, and I already have this set of mind.

But sometimes, I've been feeling down! I'm being misunderstood. Being Judged by surface.

People like the salad, good and bad ingredients chopped and mixed together. This mixed combination forms a good salad, not too sweet, not too sour. Balanced! But I'm the kind of person who tries to remove the bad things.

Lectures about "Don't let people took advantage of you, Read Between the Lines, Be wicked, You are being misunderstood of your intention" is overly jumping to my ear.  

I'm not sure how to deal with this. Is it a weakness that I need to work on? Or just wait and see how Karma will clear things up.

I feel If I don't change, I will not be ready for the next step.

At the same time, I feel that being that wicked, make assumptions on others, play dirty to misleading people is something beyond my ethics.



This leads me back to the question:
Is it my sub-conscious trying to say something? I will not have the confidence to go higher unless I do what I suppose to do: Being wicked, throwback a hit and read between the lines.
Or maybe this is a quieting person talk. Imaging things! And put an excuse of not being ready for the next step, enough courage to go higher or able to take the responsibility!

I'm a daring person, welcome any challenges that I face, an adventurous in nature, and most importantly, I have faith. And will overcome this to better me. I know my mind, situation trying to push me back. But I will do my best in everything.

And life continues...

ما زلت أذكرها


ما زلت اذكرها
برغم مرور السنين والاشهر والايام
ما زلت أذكرها
عطرها، شعرها، عينيها وضحكتها
ما زلت أذكرها
كيف إنساها وهي في القلب نبض وللروح غذاء وللحب أه
ما زلت أذكرها
لا أدري هل هو قدري أم هو وهم عابر 
ما زلت إذكرها
 رحمك الله، تركت روحا هائمة بدون عنوان مليئة بالخذلان
ما زلت أذكرها وما زلت وزلت..
فما هو المصير.. أن لم يكتب لهذا الحب نهاية سوى الشوق والحزن والحرمان.

The Philosophy of the stars & love




Why I love the Stars? Why I consider the stars as a symbol of happiness, love & hope for me.




The love of stars has an old story, when I was around 10 years old, my father used to teach me & my brothers about the stars & the name of each, by the time, I started to know shape of group stars & names of common stars, for where I started to admire the stars as a sign of inspiration & happiness to me.


The Night is dark, Quiet & loneliness; this combination summarize our life. We don’t have a full control of our life, we can’t foresee the future; its dark for us.

We at times, suffer of being disappointed & Sad or being satisfied & happy. We at times, feel so alone despite having everything, the life is a scary thing in which we have to work hard to get what we want, yet, we can’t have everything we love.

 The Sky represents our life; It's expand beyond our sight just like the things we dream about and it has endless edge just like our ambition, the dark represents the unknown future, the disappointments & loneliness. The only thing that makes alive is being loved by the people around you. The stars are the people, the ones who lighten up your life when it is so dark & quiet; encourages you to survive. one star may represent your parents, other is your partner, your friend, your pet. The most shining star is the one you love the most.

The stars also are far away from US, the sun is the nearest star to us but no, the night stars are more valuable to me; the Sun lights reach us around 8 mins, while the stars are far away from US. This represents the idea no matter how far are your loved ones, alive or dead. Their lights will be always guide you & encourages you to be strong & alive. It also indicated that with determination & hope, you will reach the end of the dark tunnel into the bright openings.


The love for anything should have a reason, this is a perfect equation & the root to solve any problem, you have to justify your love & hate for someone/something, and otherwise, you may not be able to solve any problem you may encounter or confess someone about how you feel about something.

In a relationship for example, you can’t naturally love someone for granted, you may admire the person loyalty, caring & passion, by the time, when you start getting away from this person, you may identify which things you were in love with at the beginning & you can’t find now. You may then tell this person that I loved you because you were a caring person and now you are not, you used be someone & now not. Or, when you have something you don’t love, you may sincere say that I hate this act or behavior from you.

 

I love the night & gazing the stars, I like walking in the night below the stars, and I like to sit in a chair or walk with someone I love, talking about life, love & the future or even being quiet at the night with a sky full of stars. I love the night stars. This kind of love will never fade away.
