Anemone's Research Emporium

Goddess Survey

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare modified descriptions of the goddess and god archetypes of Jean Shinoda Bolen with two established personality questionnaires. If these types are biologically based, then there should be correlations with other biologically based personality traits.

Description

Personality type descriptions are based partly on the archetypes of Jean Shinoda Bolen (Goddesses in Everywoman, Gods in Everyman) and partly on my own reading of over 300 biographies of famous people. I use the type names of Bolen, although I do not always agree with her on the descriptions.

Instructions

Please complete the basic data page, choose the archetype that suits you best (goddess if you're female, god if you're male, either if you're intersexed), and complete the EPQ-R and BFI questionnaires. If you're not sure of your god/goddess type, go with your gut instincts. Use a pseudonym if you're at all worried about privacy. I will use your email address as your default password. If you want me to use something else, please include it in the appropriate box (especially important if you use more than one email address). All answers will be kept confidential. Comments are welcome.
