Lets explore the highlights of each archetype

LOVER

At your best (now or when you fulfill your potential), you are sensuous, alive, vital, and full of love for others and for life. You would prefer always to be passionately in love with someone who returns your affections, but you also fall in love with cherished activities, the vocation that is your calling, children, pets, beautiful surroundings, and material possessions. You may well have a knack for helping individuals and groups appreciate one another and hence become close. Your love differs from that of the Caregiver because you see others as peers, not people in need of help. When you shower your attentions on someone, they feel the magic of your charisma. A romantic and bliss seeker, you create situations that help people experience at least a touch of the ecstatic or, failing that, a time that feels really special.

When problems arise, you look to see how relationships have broken down between yourself and others or among other individuals and groups. Then, you tend to heal this breach through communication, helping people to share what is bothering them ("When you say . . . , I feel . . .") and restore love or friendship. Or, you help others (or yourself) to become more attractive, more beautiful (in body, clothes, mind, heart, and/or soul). You may believe that all the problems of life could be solved if people just opened their hearts and loved more. Even when you want to hold on, you learn to let go.

ORPHAN

As a leader, you are (or could be) realistic about what can be accomplished, you do not promise what you cannot deliver, and you are good at identifying problems and addressing them. You are empathic with people in difficulty but not likely to let them use excuses to get away with not doing what they are supposed to do.
