VisionaryCalculate Your MindTime® Archetype
It only takes a few moments to calculate your archetype.
Simply enter the number of cards you have of each colour, and we’ll show your archetype.
Don’t have a MindTime deck of cards yet? Order them here.
Count how many cards of each colour you have, then find that combination in one of the categories listed below.
Here are some examples:
If you have 9 of one colour, 2 of another and 1 of your third, your combination is 9-2-1.
If all your 12 cards are the same colour, your combination is 12-0-0. These combinations are in category 1.
The combination 6-4-2 (6 of one colour, 4 of another, 2 of your third) is in category 2. You'll find combination 4-4-4 in category 3.
Category 1
- 12-0-0
- 11-1-0
- 10-2-0
- 10-1-1
- 9-3-0
- 9-2-1
- 8-4-0
- 8-3-1
- 8-2-2
- 7-4-1
- 7-3-2
- 6-3-3
Did you find your combination in category 1?
If so, you’re mostly using just one of the three perspectives (Past, Present, or Future). The colour appearing most often on your 12 chosen cards identifies which perspective.
Category 2
- 7-5-0
- 6-5-1
- 5-5-2
- 6-6-0
- 6-4-2
- 5-4-3
Did you find your combination in category 2?
If so, you use a blend of perspectives, a combination of your two principal colours.
Which of those two colours do you have the most of? That’s the perspective that leads.
For example, a spread of 7 blue and 5 green cards is Future/Present (not Present/Future).
In the event of a tie, Past trumps Present, and Present trumps Future.
Category 3
- 4-4-4
Did you find your combination in category 3?
If so, you use a Past-Present-Future or Integrated perspective.
