Hey Arinze. I really enjoyed this piece. It made me question a lot about myself and what I stand for. I think I might be a mix of hedonist and humanitarian as well. I think as much as I am committed to the good life, i care about solving certain problems in the world.

However, I have a question for you and I would love it if you could answer. You said a mix of hedonist and humanitarian was weird and I would like to know why you think so. Don't you think that by solving some social problems, i can get the comfort that I truly desire ??

I seem to find a bit of myself In these four archetypes. Could there be a reason why?

I love this!!! And this idea that you can splice and dice “career choices” and the why behind them by looking at paths and archetypes (and something else?? hmmm...) I think I’m similar to you, but with a tablespoon of scholars and 1/4 teaspoon of iconoclast 😁

Can’t wait to see what else results from your reflections on this topic!

Hey, Arinze. If we're going to have an Iconoclast archetype, I believe we can make room for individuals who are comfortable with institutions and are willing to be conventional. Conformists?

I enjoyed reading this. Now I think about it, a couple of things I've observed make sense. I see I'm the 2nd type of Iconoclast.

On the demerits of being Iconoclast, I believe you can't disrupt the world if you aren't continuously disrupting your own self.

To avoid confirmation bias, I'll be speaking for myself.

I trust if you're going to throw down the gauntlet on a belief I hold, you must be willing to pull through till the end. I've learnt arguments aren't about who contradicts better but should be about learning and absorbing information that is logical.

One thing I'm sure is concurrent? The friends we have are receiving salaries from our anons to stay back in our lives.

I'm looking forward to learning about the opportunities of each archetype.

Nice work Arinze. Personally, I can't help but relate with the iconalist archetype. Though I would say for a long time I had been a hedonist until recent years.

Hey Arinze, thanks for this piece. I am definitely a Hedonist, that I am very sure of.

But what do you think of religious people? People with very strong religious beliefs that affect their careers, ambition and paths.

I think they might be of an archetype by themselves too.
