 Here are the Core 5 Archetypes described by Carl Jung, in table form with simple examples:

🌟 Core 5 Archetypes

One-Line Summary

The Core 5 represent the structure of the psyche: who you are, what you hide, and how you relate to the world.

If you’d like, I can also explain them in a very practical self-reflection way.
