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!

I got Love – so happy about this as I’ve had a long hard journey to get here.
HOPE – and that is very accurate!
Contempt
I received Love, I have been on my journey for some time now. I know part of my path is to spread love wherever I can. I started a couple years ago going to various public places looking for, lack of better description, lost souls. Striking up conversations. Getting to know them an their situation, they just come out and tell me. And leaving them with a final thought. You are awesome. You are Loved. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
When you approach someone with pure compassion, and unconditional Love, they can’t help but spill their situation. This has happened my whole life.
When I look back at my upbringing, I feel the good out ways the bad. I have embraced both good and bad, and made a conscious decision to concentrate on the good. However I do keep the bad close, so I can always refer back to it, so I can remind myself why I need to keep projecting outward love.
I can only hope and pray that your readers can someday feel the same way as I do. It is so beautiful.
Your article struck truth…my subconscious Fear..is at the root. I really enjoyed the different tests online & the ones on the “Spiritual Animal guides” & “What is hidden in ur subconscious “…eye opening… !! Thanks…Krista from London
I got sadness and it’s true. I don’t know why I feel like bursting into tears. In some cases, anger and sadness tend to occur which makes it difficult for me to understand
I got love and I don’t know how I can love any more then I do I love so deep for everyone including myself
Isolation
You are a unique, gifted, and independent-minded person. However, something is lurking within the depths of your subconscious, and that force is isolation.
WOW hit the nail right on the head. Definitely will be following the page. Love the amazing work and help you offer. Thank you
A well structure site with an amazing article. Thank you.
WOW! SADNESS. This test was totally me. I lost my Twin Flame in a tragic accident 8 months ago. I still have not been able to grieve. I just hold it all in. I have 2 small children and can’t let them see me at my worst. I cry late at night when I am alone. Everything that was once bright and beautiful is now grey and ugly. I don’t know how to ease the pain. I am empty and lost.
