Archetypes

The ancient Greeks often turned to mythology and mythical characters to explain the characteristics of human nature. They created the concept of "archetypes" - abstract characteristics that define personality structure and determine the motives of people's behavior. Today, many psychologists and researchers use the ideas of archetypes to explain how we process information and how we interact with the world around us.

Archetypes are based on patterns of behavior developed throughout human history.

Each of these archetypes can be found in many cultures and societies.
