tephraIt's been a while since I spammed folks with a quiz thingy. So have some personality quiz spam:
Your result for Awakening the Hero Within: Hero Archetype Test...
You are the Destroyer.
67% Innocent, 38% Orphan, 46% Warrior, 54% Caregiver, 67% Seeker, 25% Lover, 75% Destroyer, 54% Creator, 48% Magician, 58% Ruler, 67% Sage and 33% Fool!
Goal: Metamorphosis
Fear: Annihilation
Response to Dragon/Problem: Allow dragon to slay it
Task: Let go
Gift: Humility
Addictions: Self-destructive habits like alcohol or smoking, suicide
The Destroyer is central to metamorphosis. The void that the Destroyer leaves in its wake is more profound and debilitating than the abandonment experienced by the Orphan. The Destroyer often is a person in the prime of life, who has a fully developed identity and a belief in their ability to cope. One is not a Destroyer because of wrongdoing. The experience of misfortune can either cripple or be transformative. Sometimes we succumb to madness or cynicism, but sometimes we can let go of the old and open to the new.
The Destroyer is also the transformer. Rebirth, after all, follows death. At best, a Destroyer can be revolutionary, subverting and destroying harmful and repressive systems.
Shadow Destroyer:
All acts of self-destruction and totally destructive acts are those of the pathological Destroyer. The Destroyer turns us into villains when we refuse to acknowledge and take responsibility for the inevitable harm we do.

I think the results might be a bit skewed by my general level of depression, but I can't actually say it is wrong.
Not the first time I've been called a fool
Date: 2010-04-07 12:30 pm (UTC)You are the Fool
42% Innocent, 54% Orphan, 79% Warrior, 33% Caregiver, 83% Seeker, 71% Lover, 67% Destroyer, 75% Creator, 36% Magician, 46% Ruler, 71% Sage and 92% Fool!
Goal: Enjoyment
Fear: Nonaliveness
Response to Dragon/Problem: Play tricks on it
Task: Trust in the process
Gift: Joy, freedom
Addictions: Excitement, cocaine, alcohol
The Fool is the archetype most helpful in dealing with the absurdities of the modern world and with faceless, amorphous modern bureaucracies– places where no one takes personal responsibility, rules are expected to be followed mo matter how absurd they might be, and the tables are incredibly stacked against individual effectiveness. A Jester does not merely provide entertainment, but also points out the failings of the kingdom to a wise Ruler. Thus, Fools are often the most serious archetype of all. The Fool often violates social norms in humourous ways to avoid provoking undue hostility.
A Fool’s politics are anarchistic. Fools are resilient, and are willing to stand up and try again despite failing. The Fool enjoys the contest of the wits even in the most dangerous or offensive of circumstances, and hates being bored.
Shadow Fool:
When such energy is not allowed, it simply goes underground, and in doing so becomes negative, undermining force. The Shadow Fool delights in breaking rules, regardless of the consequences. Unbridled and undisciplined sensuality, madness, and multiple personalities or personas are usually the results of the force of the Shadow Fool. The Shadow Fool has an unrealistic vision of what is required for survival, emotions, and relationships and believes that in order to succeed at conventional norms, one must work all of the time, so there is no use in undertaking any conventional task.
