Carl Jung, the well-known Swiss psychiatrist, became famous for his archetypes. He believed that there were three essential components of the human psyche, the ego, the collective unconscious and the personal unconscious. Twelve basic archetypes Jung has introduced are various types of the Ego, the Soul and the Self. Of course, any person can belong into several types or categories.
These basic archetypes cannot be learned or adopted, people are simply born this way. These predispositions shape their experiences and the vision of the world. These are really the elementary structures, the models of collective unconscious. Although they cannot be measured scientifically, they are still recognizable, and everything on this world is shaped accordingly.
The Ego contains four basic types. The first one is called Innocent, although it might be also called naive, romantic or dreamer. He only wants to be happy, free and surrounded by positive things. Highly optimistic person. The Orphan is quite different. This person is afraid of being left alone and always tries to be connected to people. Really emphatic, as well as realistic. Sometimes called the good old boy.
The Hero might be very arrogant and act as crusader, soldier or rescuer. Often winner, this personality is strong and dependable, really courageous, has the desire to rescue people from dangerous situations. The caregiver lives to help others. Different types belong to this category, for example parent, supporter, helper or even the saint. He needs to please other people and enjoys doing it.
