Interesting BCS article about archetypes
Apr. 10th, 2008 01:58 pmWell, they seem to think it's about women and discrimination, but it looks far more interesting than that to me.

The usual tat about women want to have children, therefore careers that don't allow for childcare are discriminatory (yawn) (in case you hadn't caught on, "people who want time off work to care for children" does not equate to "women", nor is either a sub-set of the other).
But once that's been ignored, the twelve archetypes, the idea that they're put in as part of your identity at a very early age, and how to identify and use them, looks interesting, and I'll add it to my list of things I'd like to read more about. The one they're calling "warrior", I think I'd call "problem-solver", since there's no confrontational aspect to it at all. I have a vague hunch that if I went through the Tarot Arcana doing a comparison, I'd find matches: but I'm not doing that in what remains of lunchtime.
