In human mythology the sacred mountain represents the axis mundi,

the organizing Center of the world. This is an image in the mythic
imagination of the difficult ascent into creative organization.

 STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET
What is your personality configuration? You may print this form to draw your inner organization as you believe it to be at this time. Refer to the diagrams on the
website (www.robertmoore-phd.com) for examples. Fill in the following diagrams starting at the outer edge and coloring towards the center. The closer to the
center, the more optimized your access to that archetype. Use lighter shading to denote areas of less stable, less dependable “loose organization.” Use darker
shading for areas of more solidity, resilience, and greater organization. You may also fill out forms for those with whom you have intimate relationships (parents,
children, siblings, colleagues, friends, lovers), and see if you can discern any places where you are less organized and the other person more organized.
