Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator and Psychological Type

> Archetypes are commonly understood as the universal themes of our shared human existence, evident in the commonality of characters and story lines in our myths, fairy tales, novels, and films. In PMAI terms, Luke Skywalker of the Star Wars movies begins his journey as an abandoned Orphan, becoming next a Seeker and ultimately a Warrior. The fictional manifestations of archetypes are considered to be indirect expressions of “the contents of the collective unconscious” (Jung, > 1959, p. 4). Boeree (2006) described archetypes using the metaphor of “a black hole in space: You only know it’s there by how it draws matter and light to itself.”
