I got that my actual archetype is the "Wise Old Man." While I think "wise" is giving me too much credit, I've definitely mellowed into an old soul, so that makes sense.
My Persona (btw I fucking love Jung and the Persona series I seriously need to read more raw Jungian philosophy) - or what I show to others - is most closely to the Joker, but with the Wise Old Man being second. That also makes sense. I don't like groups, but tend to do pretty well entertaining a group, so long as it isn't too big, and I'm fine with self-deprecating, which people tend to like.

Interestingly, my next closest match was the "innocent child," which sounds like the complete opposite, doesn't it? That extreme inner conflict between my foundational, stoic rationality and my uncontrollable imagination seeking something more than the real world offers is likely a large part of my difficulty with reconciling my own existence.
