The Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator (PMAI) test, is a test that identifies your archetype and leadership traits. The test is a great way to gain further understanding about yourself and leadership traits/areas that you are strong in and also ones that you are weak in. Archetypes are generic versions of personalities that are common to all cultures and times. There are twelve different types of archetypes: Innocent, Orphan, Warrior, Caregiver, Seeker, Lover, Destroyer, Creator, Ruler, Magician, Sage, and Jester. Each archetype has positive characteristics in approaching problem solving and also negative characteristics in how to avoid problems. For example, the innocent archetype characteristics consist of optimism, trust, hope, faith, childish dependence, denial, and obliviousness and other characters are so forth. Understanding and getting to know the various archetypes will allow individuals to analyze themselves, and enable them to focus on weaknesses in order to develop different leadership skills. I believe that taking the PMAI is extremely beneficial for future reference because it will help me become more successful at understanding and communicating with other people. Understanding one’s archetype will allow for further career development and leadership abilities/possibilities.
