Famous Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that there are three basic parts of the human psyche. He called these three parts the ego and the personal and the collective unconscious. There are twelve basic archetypes Jung introduced, and some are really different types of Ego, Soul and Self. All combinations are possible and different combinations form character.
According to this Jung's idea, everything is based on these archetypes, including science, religion and philosophy. These models of collective unconscious are inherited, and shape the way a person experience the world consciously. They are basically elementary structures, impossible to apprehend and common to all humanity. Their existence cannot be scientifically proven, but their actions are visible.
The Ego contains four basic types, and some have numerous other names. The Innocent may be called naive, or sometimes a dreamer. This is optimistic type, positive, happy and wants to be free. The Orphan, for example, can sometimes be described as a solid citizen, or a good old boy. He is a good guy, always wanting to be surrounded by people and connected with them, realistic, positive and emphatic.
The Hero is another Ego type. This one is often arrogant, but courageous, strong and mostly the team player. It is often called the crusader, soldier, winner and rescuer. The Caregiver loves all other people and desires to help and please them. Often called the saint, and sometimes parent, helper or supporter. His greatest desire is to do something for others. Finds his reason of existence in helping others.
Different Soul types include the Explorer, highly individualistic and always trying to find something new and exciting to explore. Wanderer and pilgrim, the Explorer is always seeking out and experiencing new things. The Rebel has one simple rule in his life. The rules are made to be broken. His wild character and shocking behavior may push him over to a dark side. Known as revolutionary, wild man or iconoclast.
The Lover is primarily interested in pleasing others and his greater desire is to be loved. Afraid of being left alone, very sensual and full of enthusiasm. Focused on others, can easily lose his own identity. The creator wants to make new and innovative things. Imaginative, creative and perfectionist, enthusiastic and artistic visionary. He lives to realize his vision.
There are four basic Self types. The Jester has a simple motto, you only live once. That's why he lives in a moment, enjoying every single minute of his life. Sometimes they call him Joker or comedian. The Sage desires to find the truth, through exploring and analyzing the world. This one is a thinker, planner and philosopher, usually really intelligent.
The Magician is in a search for secrets of the Universe. Versatile, sometimes called the Medicine Man, the healer or the Shaman. He has his own vision of the world, and usually lives accordingly. The Ruler needs to control the world around him, as well as all the people i this world. Aristocrat, administrator and natural leader.
