The Energy8® archetypal identities are designed and validated based on practical- and theoretical research. In 99% of all Energy8® assessments we find two dominant archetypal identities. These are the unconscious foundation for organizations uncovering why a group of people behave the way they do.

Each archetypal identity is described with unique and extensive descriptions. See an abstract of these descriptions below:

Founder		These organizations are primarily bent on self-preservation and independence. The people that work here strongly identify with the company. If the company is doing well, the people are satisfied. If the company is not doing well, the people become dissatisfied.
Searcher		These organizations bubble with energy and are constantly in motion. People in this organization aim to satisfy their emotional needs. This can be seen in many ways, such as the use of language. Everything is aimed towards self-fulfillment, which guides the content and structure of the work are guided.
Warrior		Within these organizations there is a drive to achieve things from people’s own free will and their own strength. People who work here are decisive and are constantly looking for new challenges. They are proud of the work that they do. There is little room for mistakes, which is seen as the same as failing.
Healer		These organizations place importance on having a social identity. Typically they look for a service-providing role. People in these organizations aim toward developing long term relationships with partners [internally and externally]. The whole is more important than the sum of its parts, but this depends mainly on individual (partner) drive.
Narrator		These organizations take on activities that suit their missions. The people in the organization therefore take on personal responsibility. They do what they say. These organizations are distinguished by creativity and inspiration. People who work here would like to make a contribution to the greater whole.
Seer		These organizations are aware of their role in the world. They have a clear vision. People who work here inspect their projects carefully and consciously direct them. These organizations grow organically, innovatively and work for a ‘good cause’.
Servant		These organizations are aware of their dependence on their immediate surroundings [organizations, people, institutions]. These organizations cannot survive alone. People that work here are driven to develop their knowledge further. There is constant searching for establishing new connections. They communicate in the same varied way.
Master		These are not organizations in themselves. These are people who strive to identify with a higher purpose. Many organizations have elements of this system. The elements are aimed towards making a difference to humanity. Organizations that strive to become one with a higher goal have difficulty existing independently.
