What this questionnaire measures
Archetype names are symbolic. They do not prescribe how women should behave, depend on age or parenthood, or measure attractiveness. Anyone can take the test.
The 42 statements are divided equally among 7 patterns: Maiden, Mother, Queen, Huntress, Sage, Mystic, Lover. Each statement contributes to one pattern. These categories and questions are an editorial model, not an established diagnostic instrument.
From a response to a score
The five responses are coded from 0 (Not like me) to 4 (Very much like me). For a reverse-scored statement, we use 4 minus that value. All statements have equal weight. You must respond to every statement to receive a result.
For each pattern, we add its 6 coded responses, divide by 24, and multiply by 100. Each score is independent. They do not sum to 100, and they are not comparisons with other test takers.
A simple example
A coded average of 3 out of 4 becomes 75 out of 100. A raw response of 4 on a reverse-scored statement becomes 0. A midpoint can result from mostly middle answers or a mixture of high and low answers.
Close scores and ties
We flag the top two scores as close when they are less than six points apart. If the highest and lowest scores are less than six points apart, we describe the whole profile as relatively flat. Equal scores are listed alphabetically. These are editorial rules intended to avoid a false sense of precision. They are not statistically calibrated thresholds.
What has not been established
We have not established reliability, test–retest stability, population norms, factor structure, or predictive validity for this questionnaire. We do not claim that the questions discover an innate type or predict relationship success, career performance, or mental health.
Your current context, familiarity with the concepts, interpretation of the wording, and desire to present yourself in a particular way can affect the result. Six points is not a scientific boundary between two kinds of people.
How the report is generated
The optional report uses the same answers and scores as the free result. Fixed rules select interpretations, show the original responses, and add reflection prompts. No generative AI processes the answers. The report does not increase the scientific certainty of the test.
Background and attribution
There is no single official list or scientifically established test of feminine archetypes. We use an explicitly chosen set of seven symbolic patterns. These labels draw on a broad storytelling and self-development tradition; our definitions, questions, and scoring are original.
