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.)
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 (or the rejected parts of yourself) can lurk. For this reason, shadow work is one of the most powerful ways of exploring your subconscious mind and freeing it of any weight it may be carrying.
You can see our popular and highly rated Shadow Work Journal for a deep guided way to explore this hidden part of you.
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.
Subconscious Mind Test
After receiving your answer in this test, please reflect on any reactions you might have. Do you feel shocked, angry or defensive? If so, consider that these reactions might be defense mechanisms.
Defense mechanisms are like inner walls that immediately go up whenever we touch on an inconvenient (or painful) truth. Again, you can check out our Shadow Work Journal or even our Shadow & Light membership for more ongoing guidance.
Also, don’t take the answer you receive as a certainty. See it instead as a possibility. As with any quiz, accuracy can’t be 100% guaranteed (but we’ve tried our best!).
So have fun with this subconscious mind test, and don’t forget to share your results (if you’re so inclined)!
Oh yes:
P.S. Why is the Tarot included in this test? Most people have false assumptions about the tarot. The dominant belief is that the tarot is some kind of hocus-pocus fortune telling gimmick. This is far from the truth. Yes, the tarot can be used by modern bejeweled “gypsy fortune tellers” to make grandiose predictions. But most genuine tarot readers in this day and age believe that no path is set in stone. We are in charge of our destiny. The Tarot is a powerful psychological tool that reveals your unconscious desires, needs, thoughts, gifts, and aspirations. In short, the Tarot is a powerful tool for exploring your unconscious mind. The deck used in this test is one that I personally use and recommend called The Smith-Waite Tarot Centennial Edition Deck.
We’ve also created questions inspired from the book ‘Kokology’ created by University professors Isamu Saito and Tadahiko Nagao.
On to the test!

The results of my test to reveal what is in my subconscious says that I’m a nice person and compassionate but it says that I have a strong fear inside and that I should try to figure out what it is and various steps to realize that there’s nothing to be afraid of. I know what I’m afraid of, I’m afraid my mom. Nothing could convince me that my fears are irrational. She’s 93 years old and she has accomplished her lifes goal question completely destroy her family, her husband and her eight children. 3 years ago I discovered that her and my most evil sister or abusing my 90 year old dad to cause him an early death. They starved him tortured him, blinded his eyes and then overdosed him. When I could not get any of my brothers or sisters to help me help my dad I went to adult protective services and they decided there was no abuse. All of my brothers and sisters would like a fortress hiding my mom and my sister and my dad. There’s so much more detail but there’s no need to say it except to say that it’s true that they… Read more »
Love. How accurate is that! I’m single by choice but deep down I crave to be loved. I give love all day long to my kids my parents but I’m left with my hand out. Thank you for this!
Sadness. “If you are struggling with unresolved grief, you will feel like life has lost its spark and playfulness. Mostly everything will feel grey and dull.” That pretty much said enough. I try to be optimistic but usually I get cut down and thrown back into a grey paralyzing numbness .
This was an interesting quiz.
Thank you.
At first I laughed because I’m not courageous at all then i read the description and realized that’s exactly why courage is locked in my subconscious. Long story short it was accurate.
I got love. This makes sense. Love has always been torture for me. I let other people use my love for them or anything else against me, to get what they want from me. One thing that was curious to me though. The last question on the test asked when I dream about my parents, what is happening in the dream. I don’t ever remember dreaming about my parents. I rarely dream about my children either. Most dreams I have are me running through problematic situations and trying to get back to my children. But never my parents. And I don’t dislike my parents at all. But I’m always solving problems by myself in my dreams.
Thank you for the help…
I got Love…I am divorced recently. I find myself loving and caring my college friends, avoid negative people n treasure my space. I am not split now as before. But I know I wish a soulmate. I am happy with my boys and pet. I wish to settle well with a job and settle my children. Yet i am happy where I am…Loving you…Indu
Hope.
I was brought to tears because I know my optimism is a blessing and a curse. No one wants to be wrong, but I not only refuse to be wrong, but my hopefulness has had me clinging onto expired relationships long after they were done. It’s like when I feel something deep down, I can’t let go of the idea that I wasn’t right. That I made a mistake a long the way in judgement. Wow
Love – that hit me hard because the only thing I ever received from my mother was resentment, and my father always took her side.
I got “Isolation”. Damn it hit home really hard. I can relate so much. I thought I’m already okay, but apparently there’s a lot more digging to do. Thank you for this.
