A crude interpretation:
The ego
The personal unconscious
The collective unconscious

the
persona: what we want the world to see - what gets through the filter - past the egos
the
shadow: Id -ish, sex drive, desires, fears, needs mostly repressed ones not collectively acknowledged
The Anima or Animus: physiologic, biological drive that makes us male and female or gendered or w/e do we want to nurture? do we want to protect?
The Selfeverything working toghether, including what we fail to filter, including the group conciousness or group ego

mostly he used these principles to describe characters:
The father: Authority figure; stern; powerful
The mother: Nurturing; comforting
The child: Longing for innocence; rebirth; salvation
The wise old man: Guidance; knowledge; wisdom
The hero: Champion; defender; rescuer
The maiden: Innocence; desire; purity
The trickster: Deceiver; liar; trouble-maker
and those have been extrapolated further as different groups have different characters and mythologies
mythology and culture heavily effects our ego through the superego (even if you rebell and resist against it creating your own mythos or a new superego and collective (althiesm)) --- isms

so there are in theory an infinate number of archetypes and they all represent aspects of ourselves and we mirror them through our psyche rather than us being completely disconnected from our environment we are constantly always seeking to build and create a character and fulfill some niche and we construct this based on - our instincts - environment - society - and repressed desires
i think the big deal was he realized even the stuff we deny and repress has a large factor in shaping who we are and it's a more intellectual way in looking at who a person is and who they could be tho to get down into brass tacks i suggest you read up on it:

or grab one of his books
Big caveat:
it was meant to be a tool and another mirror in the room with the psychologist not anything written in stone. I am not a "Joker" i just have a joker archetype + innocent child + wise old man, I present the wise old man on the surface to the world - many more archetypes influence me like the MOTHER
i feel like the test is pretty damn accurate

it will and should change overtime as you develop and understand yourself
I used to be the wizard and black knight archetypes - MANY years ago.
my communication style is this so i apologize u should completely disregard what i say, correct me, and research it for yourself,
I'm buying a book about Jungs beliefs in the superego stuff or something i forget the name i have to go get it and read it because i'm a dumb dumb and it will take a few years for it to absorb thru osmosis
babysaver is just another archetype lewl

admitting that babysaver is in the room with you is the first step towards enlightenment or becoming the ultimate babysaver
or baby sitter!

thats why listed all the matches because they all have some relevance
Hero
Strong and perseverant with boundless ambition.
Great Father
A keeper of order and sanity in a chaotic world.
yep they are in there and are also components of that shadowknight persona
i think that the evil persona authoritarian i used to eminate was because i was supressing my empathy and female egos and stuff
it is great father now because that is somewhat tempered AND i'm no longer ruled by the shadow or repression, suppression (shadow archethypes!), hero is right on the harry edge of insanity and 'neccessity', i would suggest anyone with those archetypes have a lot of living to do
TLDR: it's probably too complex for most ppl and it is or was the bleeding edge of philosphy or was sans the holography
