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 :)
Sadness….dealt with depression for 30 years.
WoWser, this was spot on. I am tearful right now at how very true the results are. Thank You for creating such an amazing and helpful test. From one lonerwolf to another namaste.
My results were accurate and confirmation of what I suspected already but have been having trouble finding a solution to. I got isolation and am really seeking guidance how to clear this and not feel like this anymore, which I have received in your piece here as well. thank you. your tests are really helping for clarity.
My results were accurate. I’ve always known about my need to care for people is large. My heart is large and I am a light that needs to learn to shine. I tend to only let people get so close. I have trouble loving myself, love others fiercely, but don’t let them get close.i need to look to find out why I do that.
Now I am speaking myself is I am speaking or subconscious telling to me a conscious telling to me I can’t understand this way what is it 3 people speaking and anyone speaking with me or I am only speaking it is confused to me
A wise soul but much sadness. Yes, there are many things that I cannot put my finger on. Very surprised at the results of this test. I did not think that this test could pinpoint the barriers I carry and cannot overcome. Over the years, having been to many counselors and therapists, they have not touched on this within me. I am yet looking for the path to overcome the painful events that I have long since buried. 😞
I got Love, but that doesn’t surprise me. That’s the one feeling that has eluded me. I have lots of it to give to my friends and family. My family gives it back, they love me, but I’ve never had that one relationship, that one person that loves me for me and not from what they want from me. Sometimes I think that maybe I chose to come to this life to learn from this. Or maybe it’s just not in the cards for me to find my person. I’m already 50 years old and I figured if I haven’t found him by now I won’t ever find him. Which I guess it’s ok, at least I have people that really care about me.
I got love. I’m not really surprised by that much. I did follow my answers intuitively. I always suspected that I have what I call a ‘love radar’ that’s always looking for potential suitors. I do find that this quiz is reflective of my natal Venus placement in astrology. Which is in Scorpio in the 12th house and is basically co-existing with my Scorpio sun. For anyone that doesn’t know, the 12th house is the house of spirituality, oneness, dreams, and the unconscious. The downside of this house is self-deluding thoughts and mental illness, which can result in self-destruction and addiction.
I don’t remember my dreams so couldn’t accurately answer the last question.
