Find your current feminine/masculine lean and see which modern feminine archetype fits you. A short, research-informed quiz with gentle tips.
This short quiz estimates your present lean on a spectrum of communal and agentic traits, then maps your pattern to common feminine archetypes. It takes about four minutes. The result gives you a simple readout and a few grounded tips. It is not a diagnosis. It is a reflection tool.
What “feminine energy” means here
In this context, “feminine energy” refers to tendencies like care, collaboration, receptivity, and attunement. “Masculine energy” points to drive, direction, boundary setting, and assertive problem solving. Everyone has both. Your mix also shifts with context, stress, and life stage.
To keep terms clear, we borrow the language of agency and communion from psychology. Agency relates to goal pursuit and influence. Communion relates to care and connection. You can read a short definition of agency in the APA Dictionary of Psychology.
How the quiz works
- Items. You will rate everyday choices and reactions. No trick questions.
- Scales. Your responses add up on two continuous scales: communal and agentic.
- Archetype mapping. Your scale profile is compared with patterns inspired by Jungian archetype work. For a neutral definition of the term, see archetype in the APA Dictionary.
- Output. You receive a lean (more feminine, balanced, or more masculine) and one or two likely archetypes, plus plain-language tips.
Archetypes used in the result
Archetypes are story-like patterns that help label clusters of traits. They are not boxes. They are shorthand.
- Maiden. Beginner’s mind, curiosity, fresh starts.
- Mother. Care, protection, steady support.
- Huntress. Independence, focus, self-direction.
- Sage. Strategy, analysis, clean plans.
- Mystic. Inner life, calm, ritual and meaning.
- Queen. Stewardship, standards, long-view duty.
- Lover. Warmth, presence, sensuality, creativity.

How to use your result
- Pick one micro-practice. For a feminine lean, try a 60-second body check-in before big choices. For a masculine lean, try a one-sentence feelings label before you act.
- Clarify boundaries. Write one “I can. I cannot. I will consider.” list for a recurring request at work or home.
- Balance the week. Pair output tasks with recovery. Book two short blocks for movement or stillness.
- Tune your communication. If your result flags misunderstandings, the communication style quiz can help you adjust tone and structure.
- Notice patterns in closeness. If your result mentions overgiving or distance, the attachment style quiz can offer a simple frame for relationship habits.
Limits and notes
This quiz cannot read your mind or your past. It does not replace care from a professional. It also avoids popular myths. For example, personality is not determined by “left-brain” or “right-brain” dominance. Both hemispheres work together during most tasks. See this plain summary from Harvard Health Publishing.
When a retake helps
Retake after a major life change, a long break, or a shift in role demands. Compare notes rather than chasing a “perfect” label. Look for small moves that make the next week easier.
