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.
What's Your Inner Child's Message?
We all have an inner child – the part of us that is still innocent, shy, curious, creative, and open to the world. What's yours trying to tell you?
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!

Sadness
You are a wise soul who has seen and experienced a lot in life. The answers you selected in this test indicate that you are carrying a lot of sadness inside…
That’s just a bit of my results . And it’s SAD cause it’s so TRUE I know I’m in the process of Shadow Work snd it’s NOT pretty. But I always say I am thankful for these dark places / experiences. It hurts so bad and have for a VERY long time. And it hurts even more when those around you don’t truly understand, you know? This website is truly Amazing and I wish to keep gaining as much knowledge about myself in a healthy manner . I am actually ready for my healing and I know I may even need to seek therapy or counseling because it’s that DEEP . I wish everyone love and light ♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎
Love….and it is very accurate. I’ve never felt really loved or wanted. I’ve learned to separate love from a lot of aspects in my life. I definitely withhold love….. from myself and others. I grew up in a household that didn’t (still doesn’t) express love or gratitude. Problems that surfaced in my family they weren’t met with love, compassion, or understanding. The only time I was given attention was when I was “bad”. And that attention was violent, demeaning, and words full of veno….if I’m being honest I find myself perpetuating the same things that helped create the gaping holes inside of me.
Hope- i felt like i was seeing something real about me.i really have suffered and am suffering but because of the hope i have i’m facing it.thanks for making me understand what comforts me.
AKA: isolation
I feel like this described what I have been feeling: Alone. Like nobody cares and I’m here just to be here nothing more. I missing feeling like I have a purpose and something to do for other people. I miss love. So thank you for showing me how I felt because I was looking for it.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling alone, Liv ♡ Sending lots of love
Courage: me I think I need this I’ve been lost here lately trying to find my self
.LOVE
LOVE.. I find no peace in conflict.
Hope. Not what I was expecting to see, but so on point. There is much good I see in this, when I think about it. I’m actually proud of the way I always believe that no matter how bad things are or whatever wrong path someone is taking, that they can always change direction. Maybe I’ve had to have that optimism for my own sake, but I believe it to be true for others also. The bad, is that I have absolutely been guilty of staying in relationships or not rocking the boat with my truth, because I sometimes foolishly believe that things will improve on their own. Lots of food for thought here. Thanks for all of the fabulous reading and tools you provide. I am grateful for you guys.
Many thanks for sharing this, Koren ❤
This test/quiz of the subconscious mind was very inspirational and very accurate. I don’t believe in psychics predicting the futures of others, however, i DO believe there are psychic abilities and clairvoyancy. Thank you for explaining more about my subconscious to me. It was accurate and accpetable. I am a courageous spirit, but still needs a little push as we all do. Much love and blessings to you all. God bless
Sadness and it’s kinda right. Hopefully it will get different after this therapy. Hoping to learn to let the past rest.
