Found the fun quiz online to see which of nine Greek goddesses we resemble..
The quiz is a bit long with 13 multipart questions..if you have a printer it will help.
Best of all it will help you to understand yourself a bit better.
This will help you find YOUR ARCHETYPE.
You may be in for some surprises !
It is an investment of some time but it is very interesting.
I was actually quite shocked..at not only who i was...but that the description of the goddess i scored highest on (far far greater score than all others)
was so like me.
If you want share which Goddess you resemble..
I'll share mine if you share yours:

I answered that test, and damn was it long!
Anyways, here's what I got as my goddess:
Athena - extroverted and independent temperament--represents the goddess of wisdom and civilization--concerned with career, motivated by the desire for achievement, acquiring knowledge, she possesses a keen intellect, concerned with education, culture, social issues and politics. Athena is father’s daughter. She enters the male arena in the outer world. Athena is also known as one of the three Amazon women. (The myth of the Amazon women spoke of a society of fierce warrior women who lived entirely without men.) The story of her birth: she emerged, fully-grown, out of the Head of Zeus.

As my other goddesses, I got them in the following order:
• Artemis
• Persefone
• Demeter
• Aphrodite
• Hestia
• Hera
Thanks for posting this, btw, very entertaining!

Glad you enjoyed it..it was a bit long.
Yeah i thought she did a pretty good job on that quiz..i have seen online a service where you have to pay $20 to get a similar quiz.
This is low tech but fun.
I was a little confused about it.
I got Artemis (wild woman) at 33
But Persephone fits in alot of ways to...got 18 for her.
(all other scores were very low)
THE REASON THIS IS VALUABLE...is that if you know which archetype you are, you can figure out (and she gives you hints) as to what you SHADOW elements look like so you can be more aware of them.
That is invaluable info as far as i am concerned.
i think most of them are the godesses of whining from my experiences, .. they are just way to good at it

Hi, thankx a lot to post this test :) I really like it, but i was a bit surprised cause the goddess I had more point is Aphrodite, second and close to her is Demeter and third Athena. The other ones were in this order: Persepone, Artemis, Hera, Hestia. This two lasts were really low scores...
I answered for what I am felling and am at the moment, i think some years ago (not that much, only one) I would had score in another godssess... I like it, is good to we know ourselves better... :)
And my avatar is now a godssess, I was searching for godssess images at google to put in my avatar and i find some pretty ones there...

I tried doing this test....oh how I tried!
But I can't figure out how to tally up the points..:(..can some one help me pretty please?
Mine was Hestia. Not surprised... Lowest Aphrodite. But most of these Goddesses bore me out.
I don't understand why these tests never include Hecate, Lilith and such...Blargh.
Amethyst: Just count the plusses and the minuses. +23 points -12 points.

[Coco's remarks]
Persephone type woman is more attracted to the spiritual nature rather than the physicality of her partner. She may unconsciously attract destructive relationships or potentially controlling partners. [Hahahahaha!!!! TRUE!] As an unconscious protective measure, she may choose a safe alternative in a younger, non-threatening partner whom she can mother.[I DON'T think so.]
Athena: She is an androgynous ‘virgin’ goddess who develops a relationship with her own inner masculine part rather than partaking in marriage to an outer male. [??] Her awareness is focused. She relates to men as intellectual companion with whom she shares ambitions, career goals, and ideals. If a primarily Athenian-type woman chooses partnership, she seeks one who possesses sufficient self-confidence and who will appreciate her ambition and autonomy.
Hestia: Possesses an introverted temperament and is focused on her inner, spiritual world. Hestia is an archetype of inner centeredness. She was known to be mild mannered, upstanding, charitable, as well as a protector. She is the least known of the Olympian goddesses primarily because she never takes part in any disputes or wars. [Usually] She minds her own business amidst a family of goddesses and gods who engage in ‘high drama’. [I am a no drama zone!] Similarly to Athena and Artemis she resists the amorous advances of men, therefore, placing her in the ‘virgin’ goddess category. Her energy is impersonal and detached. [I'm not mean or uncaring, though] Her awareness is focused. Different than Persephone who seeks to please others, Hestia’s focus is for herself. She is grounded and her life has meaning. Unlike Athena & Artemis, Hestia did not venture out to explore the world or wilderness; she remained inside, contained within the hearth. The goddess, Hestia did not take a partner. A Hestia-type woman, today, may prefer to live a more solitary life [These days, yes]or live within a community of like-minded, spiritual ‘sisters’.
