Understanding Your Archetype

Your archetype is determined by your Peak factor and Upper Dimension factors. If you have an equal split (2-2) between archetypes, you'll be classified as both, with your Peak factor's archetype listed first.

Remember that archetypes are broad categories - your individual FF profile provides much more nuanced insight into your personality. Use archetypes as a starting point for understanding, not as limiting labels.

Many people find they resonate with multiple archetypes, especially as they grow and develop different aspects of their personality throughout life.
