"The Money Quiz is where every coaching journey begins. It is not about right or wrong answers, it is about honesty. Each trait is a mirror. Some will make you smile. Others might make you wince. That is the point. The discomfort is where the growth lives."

How deep do you want to go?

The eight money archetypes

Everyone carries all eight archetypes. The question is not which one you are, but how strongly each one influences your behaviour.

⚔️ Hero

The driven achiever. Heroes channel determination and courage into their financial life. At their best, they inspire others and build wealth through sheer willpower. Unchecked, the drive becomes exhausting.

🎨 Artist

The creative soul. Artists see money as a tool for self-expression and experience. They value beauty, meaning, and authenticity over accumulation. The work is grounding vision in practical reality.

👑 Ruler

The organiser. Rulers bring structure, systems, and clarity to their finances. A healthy Ruler keeps the books balanced. An overactive Ruler can become rigid.

🌱 Innocent

The trusting optimist. Innocents believe things will work out and trust others with the details. The openness is lovely — pairing it with financial literacy is the work.

🎲 Maverick

The risk-taker. Mavericks are bold, unconventional, and comfortable with uncertainty. They spot opportunities others miss. The work is distinguishing courage from recklessness.

🌧️ Victim

The burdened. Victims feel that external circumstances control their financial life. This is often the result of real hardship. The coaching work is reclaiming agency.

💝 Martyr

The giver. Martyrs put everyone else first. Their generosity is genuine and beautiful — but when it comes at the cost of their own wellbeing, resentment builds beneath the surface.

✨ Magician

The alchemist. Magicians transform ideas into abundance. They see opportunity everywhere and have the resourcefulness to make things happen. This is the archetype of financial mastery.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Traditional Money Quiz?
Ilana's original 112-trait assessment, developed over years of coaching practice. It maps your responses to eight money archetypes — Hero, Artist, Ruler, Innocent, Maverick, Victim, Martyr, and Magician — revealing the unconscious patterns that shape your financial behaviour.
How is it different from The Deal?
The Deal is a card-game experience designed for engagement. The Traditional Money Quiz is the clinical foundation — a Likert-scale assessment that provides precise archetype scores with severity bands. Both use the same 8-archetype framework and scoring engine.
What do the scores mean?
Each archetype has an ideal range. Scoring above or below that range does not mean good or bad, it means that archetype is influencing your behaviour more or less than is optimal. Green means healthy, amber means watch this space, red means this deserves attention, and critical means coaching would be transformative.
