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.)

Subconscious Mind Test

This test isn’t meant to diagnose you, just point out the most likely possibility when it comes to what’s buried within your subconscious. As with any quiz, accuracy can’t be 100% guaranteed (but we’ve tried our best!). Enjoy!

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 self (or the rejected parts of yourself) can lurk. For this reason, shadow work is one of the most powerful inner work tools in exploring your subconscious mind and freeing it of any weight it may be carrying. You can explore this hidden part of you with the Shadow Work Journal.

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.

  1. I got love and oh it is so accurate. I never realised, so thank you so much for making this knowledge available to me. You are wonderful!

  2. I got anger. It does make sense about a lot of things but also it doesn’t. Sadness is definitely lingering in my heart, almost feels like I was broken and now I get stuck. Just stuck in my life.

    liked the test too 🥹 Gonna take it again just to see 😁

  3. I enjoyed taking this test and the ‘response’ was right on. I long to experience love with others but due to such extreme misophonia, extreme HSP characteristics and bare minimum of energetic boundaries I isolated to repair my shattered nervous system. I’ve noticed I naturally have a very high frequency and being with anyone of a lower frequency makes me ‘sick’. Also the parasitic quality of people is difficult to be around. BUT, I can start experiencing and sharing love with the organic garden/food forest I’m creating. It’s a start, maybe it’ll extend to people someday.

    • Oh my God this is almost exactly how I feel. I want to give and receive love but most people exploit me to their needs, or is it that, my expectations of them are above normal. Whenever I realise they have been using me I harden myself up and try to isolate myself. I wish I have something beautiful to create as you are doing.
