The archetype of the personality is studied from the position of the culturological analysis, but its psychological component is not investigated. It should be noted that the archetype is capable to predetermine the behavior of the person; therefore, researching of an archetype of the personality is topical. The paper presents the results of the empirical research conducted with the help of “12 archetypes” test (K. Pearson and H. Marr). This test defines the dominating archetype of the personality, but its results are low-informative. 120 students of the Pacific State Medical University (60 young men and 60 girls at the age of 20 – 25 years) participated in the research. In the research “12 archetypes” test (K. Pearson and H. Marr), Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, R. Kettell’s Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (Form C) and V. I. Garbuzov’s questionnaire for diagnostics of the dominating instinct were used. The results allowed expanding the test. Detailed descriptive characteristics of each archetype of Pearson’s system were received.
