About The Masculine Archetypes Test
Finding meaning in masculinity
The Masculine Archetypes Test provides you with a free personality test based on the work of wise men. I am merely the messenger connecting you to the insights of Jungian psychology, the archetypes explored by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette, and a questionnaire developed by Nic Morrey.
What does it mean to set your true masculinity free? It means walking forwards with an open heart and a millennia of men behind you. Still confused? Let me explain.
Modern society has raised generations of weak men. Many of us, as a result of our upbringing are soft and as the late modern bard Robert Bly described “lacking in thunder and lightning.” The corrosive effect of the modern media landscape labels masculinity as ‘toxic’, we’re told women are men and men are women, and more boys are being raised by single mothers than in the past. Many men are seeking an antidote to the crisis of masculinity we feel we are faced with. Enter Jungian archetypes.
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.
He who looks outside, dreams, he who looks inside, awakes.
– Carl Jung
The idea of archetypes has had a revival in recent years through the popularity of Jordan Peterson and his lectures around stories and mythological archetypes. This has served as a gateway drug for a new generation, exposing fresh minds to the work of Carl Jung.
Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology in the first half of the 20th century. His revolutionary approach took the field into the darkest corners of the human psyche, with a focus on finding symbolic meaning in dreams. He believed our subconscious was a powerful force that humans could understand through myth. Out of his research came Jungian archetypes. These ideas were further developed by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette who discovered that at the most basic level, four archetypes exist in the masculine psyche: The King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover.
These ideas are revolutionary, deep and esoteric. The aim of the Masculine Test is to make Jungian psychology and the work of Robert Moore and Douglas Gilllette accessible and simple to understand for a wide audience so to help as many men as possible find meaning in myth, modernity, and true masculinity. There is now an interest from a new generation in these ideas and this test is a quick way for men to gain some much needed insight on themselves using archetypal psychology.
The Masculine Test is a free personality test to help you understand yourself and provide a guide to personal growth. It will help you discover how you can become more of a man, a better man, and overcome your limitations.
It’s all about finding balance in each of your four masculine archetypes. Your Masculine Test results will provide you with understanding, self-knowledge and personal enlightenment. It will take big concepts and make them easily understandable and provide personalised practical advice which will require courage for you to incorporate shadow work into your daily life which will lead to more maturity and responsibility which will set your true masculinity free.
If you’re at an age where you think you should feel like a man but you don’t – or you’re feeling unsatisfied with your life, you’re lonely, lacking motivation – then the Masculine Test is made for you.

Our method: pseudonymous speech…
Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. Cancel culture is a weapon wielded towards dissident speech by shadow-possessed intolerant mobs and a manipulative media. By keeping authorship anonymous we encourage authenticity and openness and create an environment free from self-censorship.
The pseudonym used to publish on masculine test blogs is Máel Dúin, based on the Celtic myth the Voyage of Máel Dúin, which is a story about a man who sets off on a quest of self-discovery to avenge the death of his father.
