In this video, Amanda Northcutt introduces the free "Death Archetypes" contemplative personality test, a 27‑question self‑report instrument designed to prompt instinctive reflections on mortality. The test assigns respondents to one of eight archetypes that characterize how they perceive and approach death and dying. Northcutt frames the assessment as a tool for confronting the challenge of thinking about death, arguing that such contemplation brings attention back to the present moment, encouraging listeners to live more intentionally and meaningfully because the future is uncertain. The overall message is that by understanding one's death archetype, a person can ground themselves in the now and pursue a fuller life.
