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 โฆ youโll find out! (But I can guarantee that itโs probably one of the weirdest tests youโll 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 arenโt 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 donโt want to face. Mind you, not everything buried in the subconscious mind is negative โ there can be brilliantly creative and joyful elements within it as well โ 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, donโt take the answer you receive as a certainty. See it instead as a possibility. As with any quiz, accuracy canโt be 100% guaranteed (but weโve tried our best!).
So have fun with this subconscious mind test, and donโt forget to share your results (if youโre 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.
Weโve also created questions inspired from the book ‘Kokology’ created by University professors Isamu Saito and Tadahiko Nagao.
On to the test!

CRAVING LOVE
I am so tired of people, they are so fake, like a dirty plastic bowl.
“like a dirty plastic bowl” โ that’s an interesting metaphor ๐ง
Yeah, I hear you Maureen. There is a lot of fakeness in the world. I try to remember that there’s a lot of beauty as well so that my perception doesn’t become too black or white. Did you get “contempt” as your result, or something else, if you don’t mind me asking?
i got LOVE
Thank you for sharing Pat ๏ปฟ๐๏ปฟ
You are a gentle, empathetic, and considerate soul who cares a great deal about other people. However, something is lurking within the depths of your subconscious, and that force is fear. I have this deep fear. I am pretty sure my fear is never getting my mother’s and step-dad’s love or affection or approval.
I’d definitely do some journaling about it, Stephanie ๏ปฟ๐๏ปฟ
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
Hope
Deep down, you are an infectiously warm and optimistic soul who refuses to let the trials and tribulations of life defeat you.
You are the type of person who believes that life is fundamentally benevolent, and even in the most painful situations, you still seek the light.
