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!

So smooth and accurate!!!😊
Deep down, I am a kind and gentle soul who craves love My soul is a force of nature that longs to spread love. I need to find ways of generating more self-compassion in my life, and I will find myself feeling more and more at peace. WOW
I just took this test n I got “Courage” as my result! I chuckled and was like “Phew!” cuz I must admit, I was a wee bit nervous taking this test cuz after what the past several months has been like, GOD ONLY KNOWS what all this test could have shown! Lol!
I have come to the realization that you really do need to love yourself. Do it for YOU. Loving others, even to the self sacrifice level, is admirable. It just doesn’t cut it. It isn’t enough for your precious self. Love others, most assuredly. Love and give to others with abandonment, but don’t forget to love yourself. Do so gently and tenderly. Make it count, because there is only one you and you matter.
Love and self compassion
That’s not me because my heart is open and not hidden. Do you know what this is I love myself which is self-love and unconditional love for all of existence. You know self-love has nothing to do with self and has everything to do with others. What GOD said in the Bible about. Love your neighbors as you would love yourselves and what happens when you put others before yourself and ( By putting others before yourself that is self- sacrificing which is unconditional love for all with having the realization of loving yourself. Self-Love
I got Love. Spot on, one of my biggest issues is because I’m honest and direct I sometimes say things people aren’t ready to hear… this has caused alot of loss in my life. I never say anything to intentionally hurt someone, in fact I’ll often keep how someone has hurt me in order to avoid hurting them… I’m working on stopping this as it is only making me sick and then when I finally share my feelings I’m blamed and often told I’m the problem… which makes me feel unloved, it’s awful. I honestly struggle go get mad but when I do it’s usually on someone else’s behalf. I come across as very self confident and passionate… intimidating is often used to describe me, but deep down I’m a softie who just wants to love and support those in my life. I have been lucky enough to find some members of my soul tribe, who have shown me unconditional love is possible, but this has only been a recent revelation.
Love.
And that’s quite timely and pointed. My husband passed away six months ago. While he was ill, I really began to find how much I didn’t know him, after 36 years. That’s been a mountain of discovery since then. I’m not angry. I’m dumbfounded and hur. I never made good choices when it came to looking for a partner.
Sadness. Spot on answer and description. Working my way through the dark night of the soul. Current life and past life trauma. My spiritual team is loving and supportive and I have so much gratitude for them and my inner children. It’s been a crazy journey but things are looking up. I’ve learned so much from all the darkness coming up so I wouldn’t change it but there’s still more work to do . Thank you for this test and all that you and Sol do. Much love and respect to you all.
Fear. seems to be a common occurrence lately. i can’t wait to have the capacity and space to start working on everything, in fact, i crave it terribly. I have to keep reminding myself “soon”.
