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!
What did you get?
Share your results below!
Love
Deep down, you are a kind and gentle soul who craves love. You have a strong subconscious need to give love to others and receive love. Although you may sometimes appear strong, stoic or self-sufficient on the outside, that is only hiding your deeply compassionate heart and desire to unite others.
Not everything buried in the subconscious is dark or negative. Love is an example of a positive force that is too often suppressed because of how overwhelming and overpowering (and therefore intimidating) it can be. So ask yourself, in what ways are you withholding love or avoiding receiving it from others? And most importantly, why?
I cried at my result… I think it’s probably accurate then.
Isolation…
I barely talk to my family, even though I live with them. They did nothing wrong… Idk why it is. In school I had friends that i would sit near and talk to sometimes, but I never initiated a conversation… Even now, I have new friends that I go into town with every week, even a girlfriend! They all have the same interests as me, artsy stuff, I’m often physically close to them… But… Why do I feel so alone?
And now imma stop typing before I cry any more.
Fear
This is the very honest thing I’ve read about me. Thank you for this. Big hugs ❤
So surprisingly accurate. I scored Hope and am sometimes down, but never out and also Honesty and I do “value truth and integrity above all else”. Easier for me than others because I have an inherent interest at least to try and I can easily forgive peoples. Bigger problem with people with responsibility and authority who usually have neither quality. I haven’t learned to walk away and leave retribution to the Universe. Will I ever with Mars in Aries?
I really liked it.
Contempt:
Probably. As someone who is very misunderstood by others.
I’m not at all shocked by this result.
I figure people out very quickly.
They never really figure me out.
But they know I’m nothing like them.
If I say ” look at that rainbow, Isn’t it beautiful. ” And they laugh at me or think I’m a weirdo. Which most people do.
To me these people are blind and I will never trust them.
It sounds harsh. But from my experience, I have to protect my spirit and soul from those who would gladly hurt or destroy me.
Anyways.
My heart is running wild and free. And I’m definitely a lonerwolf.
Thanks to luna and sol for all your hard work and dedication.
It’s in people like you that I find the strength to do better.
I understand. I have been misunderstood all my life. So i understand where that contempt is coming from. I got the same results. And not only that, people have tried to harm me multiple times…mentally… tried to bully me… destroy me mentally and socially… All of this because they see something in me which they want to destroy. So excuse me if I feel contempt towards them. I absolutely must.
(I tried being kind for several years, they just took it as an opportunity to exploit my weaknesses). So i am done with that.
Isolation
Which suited me. I am constantly feeling like an outsider with friends and family. It’s hard to fit in when you feel like you don’t belong. I have to put up a wall or act out an personality so I can fit in.
Isolation
It’s true and it was a wonderful experience
Love.
It’s true and interesting experience.I Learn and it’s awesome
