Meet The Explorer Archetype
The Explorer
The Explorer Brand Archetype is on perpetual self-exploration journey. You believe there’s often much more to things than meets the eye, and want to know just what those things are.
You’re a seeker, often motivated by dissatisfaction, restlessness, or confinement. Settling into a routine is not something you do well. You greatly value flexibility and freedom and tend to struggle with boundaries, schedules, and tight commitments.
Consumed with a passion to seek greener pastures, you’re on a lifelong quest for self-sufficiency, authenticity, and the discovery of your truest self. It’s not enough for you to survive, you want to truly thrive.
You place great value on individuality and as such, encourage others to stay on their own journey of continual self-awareness. Discovery-driven Explorer brands are often considered pioneers when it comes to their offerings.

It also helps process why you get along and work well with some, and not so well with others.
