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!

You got me totally right. I am always doughted for my dreams and people tell me I can’t do it so I tend to stick with it and pretend I am ok. But this quiz has made me want to got and achieve my dream. Thankyou so much for changing me and telling me I can do it.
This is inspiring to hear!
Spot on and actually got a real insight that I can act on.
I got isolation. I really feel that this is the best way to explain how I feel. Very nice.
B
Amazing test, I really felt connected to the result. Thank you!
Say for example you are writing a paper on consumer attitudes towards fair trade coffee Consider the length of the assignment Are you writing a six page paper or your fourth year honours thesis ?
Hello everyone. Peace Be With You. Thank you for the great site.
My answer to the final question is below along with some opinions which may give an insight. The result LOVE is a great one though and pretty accurate.
I left school at 10 having been taken into care (we stole some oranges from an old shed) Im guessing because my family was 10 and mum was pretty much left alone to look after us. A big struggle. Then once the system had me I learned to do all sorts of things alone. I was a runner and kept running away to fend for myself. This might be stealing food, cars, fuel, money etc. I never meant any harm to anyone. I was always a maverick character, a loner and I loved who i was. Not perfect by far but I knew who I was. I eventually left the system aged 18. Not because it worked but because the state no longer cared about looking after people or rehab. The police stopped catching me because they stopped policing back in the late 70s. Care and prisons stopped too. Now its just incarceration and the prisoners rule and no one cares. The worst thing in the world for lost souls. I should add here this carried on throughout my life I just never got caught any more but mainly was on the straight and narrow anyway. I was self employed and self taught. Car dealer, or anything dealer.Security, CCTV and computer engineer, Mechanic etc, etc. I realised very early on we CAN do what we want if there is a will to change and learn ourselves and we can ALWAYS find a good living being self employed and working on a one to one basis with people. I could never be a factory worker etc it would be soul destroying. And we REALLY CAN do anything we put our mind to we just have to have faith in ourselves. The BIGGEST thing by far in my life was GOD. I had no fear of anything because I always knew God was on my side and with me. I never felt alone or lost because he is always with us everywhere and now at 62 he is still there. That’s not to say life was easy. No way, but He made it very easy in hindsight. If we have GOD in our lives nothing can touch us. But we have to seek him. I had a great Irish family so God was always there from birth. I feel very sad for those never raised with God in their lives because how would they ever know? There are very few real Christians in the world and so the flock has been led astray. Luther taught us about false religions leading us astray (Im Catholic and include them) it was a shock revelation (in my 50s) but answered so many questions. United we conquer, divided we fall. Never more so than today. The world is turning into tech zombies as we head into the abyss. It really doesn’t have to be this way but each one of us must take back control of our lives. Love really is the key but you cannot love anyone or anything else until you love yourself. We are all ONE people so forget about religions or any other human ideals. One God One Love for each and every one of us.
I always thought of myself as a runner. Marriage etc never lasted because I was afraid of getting too attached. I would think of them dying 10/20years down the line etc so come up with the daft ideal that I don’t get too attached lol I think this may have come from dogs dying after 10/15yrs. it was a real heartbreaker as a kid. I live to serve. I love serving people and looking after them. free and help advice. Lifting people up and sending them on their way etc it is what I live for I’m sure. The sick society doesn’t want this even though we all need it. Love is unconditional or it just aint love.
I never really liked visitors as such. I was always the one who would visit family/friends etc Later life taught me blood really wasn’t thicker than water. This was when mum was ill and few of us did anything to help her final years beyond lip service. I did a runner again. Lived in the middle of nowhere and just explored, explored and explored. Home here was still a haven for my son and its something I would always want to provide for him. He has a painkiller addiction off and on and when he goes off the rails he comes back. As a kid I hitched everywhere including France/Germany. Met some real nuts and dirty old men but God was always there to protect me from them. I am a survivor. We all can be survivors. We must learn to have faith in ourselves and our abilities and we must learn that many of our problems are down to us, even if we have had bad experiences. Its not so much bad things happen but rather how we deal with it. My road feels endless and never ending. I must keep moving. It really is a compulsion within me and I have no idea why. I research everything to the nth degree and love learning. Not BS academia but life. We are all born to serve and it is truly in the giving that we receive. So have faith guys, if not in God, then in yourselves. We cannot always fix everything and that’s ok but we should always try, try, try. God Bless
What does this image look like? (Choose the closest description.)
Two people arguing
B
A family / people dancing
C
A person banishing the darkness
D
Two kissing people
E
A hungry animal / monster’s face
F
A child trying to prevent the parents from fighting
Two small lions at very top holding something together
two seahorses in middle
2x small creatures, leopard type on far left/right extremes.
2x Jesus hanging from cross at bottom
I can only really see black images though if I focus hard I can see white buddha character in middle at bottom with crossed legs and short arms raised.
None of the answers seem applicable in my case for a few of the images. This therefore invalidates results shirley?
RESULT=LOVE
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?
Here is another question: what insecurities or mistaken beliefs are causing you to repress the energy of love?
Your soul is a force of nature that longs to spread love. Find ways of generating more self-compassion in your life, and you will find yourself feeling more and more at peace.
Dear Pete,
My soul is shaking from your story.My life sims a little bit too calculated, carefully planed and has some detailed expectations that I focus so much that I forget that life is full of opportunities, I am missing the truest essence of life. You were a self starter,able to achieve so much on your own, not knowing what would happen, but you did it. So THANK YOU for sharing your love, cause now I will enjoy the very big picture, not only a few single details. Thank you for your LOVE! THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!
I also got love in the test and I hope you can feel the love you gave me. Lots of love for you from me

That is a naked girl on the fish. You say my soul is a gal.
You read me like a book not getting a single thing wrong. I was looking up if ancient secrets reside within the subconscious, especially regarding spiritual aspects and knowledge from the foundations of the beginning of time (which is not really existent in spiritual dimensional realm/realms I believe anyway) you are pretty amazingly gifted and I thank you for this. I will try my best to remember to donate cause you di truly deserve it.. thank you again..
