Genius

This archetype represents an exceptional problem-solver. Intelligent and confident, the Genius enjoys a good puzzle and is often called upon by others to resolve all types of conundrums. The Genius does not necessarily excel in school, but is almost always regarded as bright by friends and family.

The Genius tends to command more knowledge than wisdom. One who invokes the Genius may avoid messier human problems in favor of simpler mechanical ones. Indeed, the Genius may downplay the significance of problems that have complicated solutions, such as those that involve tangled human emotions.

If you are dissatisfied with the dominance of this archetype in your life, perhaps it is time to consider giving more credence to your emotional, social, and spiritual sides versus your purely empirical side.
