The King and Queen of all quizzes!

What do you get when you merge:

Japanese psychology, the Rorschach inkblot test, a sprinkle of Jungian psychology, and the Tarot all together?

Well … you’ll find out! (But I can guarantee that it’s probably one of the weirdest tests you’ll ever take.)

Subconscious Mind Test

This test isn’t meant to diagnose you, just point out the most likely possibility when it comes to what’s buried within your subconscious. As with any quiz, accuracy can’t be 100% guaranteed (but we’ve tried our best!). Enjoy!

What is the Subconscious Mind?

Your subconscious mind can be compared to an inner basement in which all of the material not currently inhabiting your conscious awareness is stored.

Every memory, skill, experience, feeling, thought, and forgotten or subliminal piece of information is housed in your subconscious mind. It is this powerful part of your brain that carries out actions on autopilot, delivers intuitive and instinctual information, and predetermines how you will act in any given situation.

Your subconscious mind is also where unresolved or suppressed feelings, desires, and ideas dwell, and is therefore where your shadow self (or the rejected parts of yourself) can lurk. For this reason, shadow work is one of the most powerful inner work tools in exploring your subconscious mind and freeing it of any weight it may be carrying. You can explore this hidden part of you with the Shadow Work Journal.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind for most people is a total mystery. Yet science has proven that a large percentage of our feelings, thoughts, and major life decisions are based on the impulses arising from this strange realm.

Your subconscious mind influences everything from the partner you choose, to the jobs you take on, personas you adopt, addictions you develop, and aspirations you have in life. The craziest thing is that often we aren’t even aware of the impact that our subconscious mind has on us.

As I pointed out above, there is also another darker side to the subconscious mind: it is the place where we often hide or suppress the emotions that we don’t want to face.

Mind you, not everything buried in the subconscious mind is negative – there can be brilliantly creative and joyful elements within it as well – but some of what the subconscious contains can feel quite strange or confronting.

In this test, you’re presented with the possibility to learn either positive or negative qualities about yourself, and receiving either is neither right nor wrong, it just is.

  1. “Sadness”
    The result suprisingly is true and all the explanation about me was accurate. You can elaborate about myself precisely without knowing who I am and we even never met! I can see a light inside my sadness now. I will try to heal myself by following your guide and advise from your articles. Thank you very much Aletheia! ♡

  2. I’m really surprised as to how accurate and eye opening this is. I’ve recently started the spiritual awakening course and have been reflecting a lot on myself and the way I express myself. I got Anger from this quiz and it I do feel a connection towards suppressed anger and occasions of random bursts of defensiveness in the past, but this has definitely helped me find a way to pinpoint those suppressed feelings and how I can better address and acknowledge them.

  3. I couldn’t be completely satisfied with this
    But there was a part of letting go about which I want to ask something
    I cannot understand why can’t I let go of this
    And there’s also something else I want to ask about
    I did something but I don’t know why I did that
    And how does the brain work

      It made me pleased and did not surprise me. Thank you for the smile – And the addition of the Tarot. Clever

  4. Hi. Incredibly new to this journey. I’m trying to do your tests but there seems to be a problem. I can’t find the option that allows me to go to the next question. Thank you for your incredibly insightful work. You’ve given me a lot of peace and I hope that I’ll have the means to support your work

  5. I wish I could donate, but I’m so worried about paying our phone/electric/tax bill this month…. : (
    Pretty accurate in the “hope” department, very good test about the subconscious!
    I don’t want to lose hope however, if I do that I couldn’t imagine what’d happen.

  6. Mine said “Love.” It’s almost uncanny how accurate this is. I wasn’t expecting much from this test, but I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised.
