Why You Act The Way You Do? This Personality Traits Is For Information Purpose by StoneColdBiceps(m): 12:25pm On Jan 19, 2016 |
The 12 Common Archetypes By Carl Golden The term "archetype" has its origins in ancient Greek. The root words are archein, which means "original or old"; and typos, which means "pattern, model or type". The combined meaning is an "original pattern" of which all other similar persons, objects, or concepts are derived, copied, modeled, or emulated. In my search for Self-Realization, Pursuit of Happiness and interpretation of dreams i stumbled on the piece of information. I got to learn there is various reasons why we act the way we do AND that makes us unique in our own different ways. In our daily struggles we try to upgrade, nurture, fine tune, augment ourselves/character which is great, but we cannot erase what our natural personality traits are and the plan of God upon our lives.

Akathriel: How can you say that of a whole tribe? Its not possible all of them exhibit a particular trait, though most can do some traits depending on the "truth" or otherwise you were fed with as a kid. Honestly, I think anyone that can impact no 12, will activate no 6. If someone can't let a man with personality 12 "dominate" him, that person quickly tries 6 and crave for sympathy by blackmailing others. I think I'm no 10 and 8. I observed something strange about those typed-12 people, they think "Power" is the only thing and will either try it through economical power, political power, military power and if they see that they ain't winning, they use the last card: Blackmail or violence. Until a man knows for sure that he does NOT NEED TO DOMINATE OTHERS(ECONOMICALLY, POLITICALLY ETC) TO BE CONSIDERED GREAT, such a one will have a rough life for if he can't seem to dominate you, he becomes scared that his/her relevance is waning; I've had such laughable bosses whom whenever they seemed not to "dominate" will become very scared and threatened). Though my Igbo father-in-law made me know that you must NEVER lump miscreants with correct Igbos. 1 Like |
