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!

Fear.
I don’t know what I fear.
“Isolation ” dont know what to feel came here to find out if I was unconscioussly evil . Although the results make sense , must say gave me an idea whom I might be. Yet I do not feel unique at all I feel normal to the bone .I just want to find the person I am, whom am I ment to be or what task I should accomplish . The hardest thing in life is to find oneself in my opinion
I got Love. What does this mean? The feelings that come to me immediately after seeing this result are tears- the need to cry. But I’m not sad. Lately I have had this overwhelming urge to cry in many different circumstances. Happy tears for sure at times and sad ones at other times. I’m certain there is a message for me here and I’m not grasping it.
I got Hope. I feel like this is fairly accurate as I always tend to try to see the bright side of things. I also definitely understand what it means when they talk about it being something that could hold you back as well. I definitely tend to use optimism to hang on to people and situations much longer than is healthy. I really need to learn how to balance my own needs and my optimism.
Fear!
The test is accurate, and echos what has been told to me by others. Guess it’s time for shadow work to figure it out.
I got Love
I got Hope.
Courage. Yes that’s makes total sense to me. In some ways yes courage is definitely a blocker for me , especially when it comes to doing what I should be doing in my daily life. And yes I do have some wild ideas! lol I’ve always been a outside of the box thinker, which in my immediate family wasn’t understood or supported. it has haunted me many times throughout my life.
“Love” and it is So true. Thank you for the tool of insight.
Love: so accurate. Having been the scapegoat in a narcissistic family, with a narcissistic mother at the helm, I have craved love all my life. I’ve recently escaped a narcissistic abusive relationship and see now how I was such an easy target for him. I’m practising lots of self care now and am learning every day. I’m so happy that I found you guys. When my financial situation improves you will have a donation from me. The work you do is inspiring and invaluable. Thank you
