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!

Hi,
I am Deepa. For the past couple of days I am trying to do the test, unfortunately I couldn’t find the next question arrow or anything.
So I am stuck with the first question itself. Can you please help.
Love
Deepa.
I just found this website by coincidence.
I got Courage, and it fits extremely well. At the moment I’m having some major life issues, and it might be mostly
based of off this.
“You have so many wild dreams and aspirations within you. Yes Yes! So true! Where should I even start? D:
But also, “Remember that seeking the approval and validation of others will always make you feel trapped, ….”
Oh no, this is what I often do, I think.
Wow, this is right on correct! I feel very isolated from the rest of the world because I act and think differently. Different opion, taste in music, hobby, mindset, style and go on. But also reaching out to others is correct. I tend to do things on my own. I highly value self independence. Downside is I don’t always help others because I don’t recognize their needs.
So this test has been very helpful and insightful.
I am working on feeling whole and being okay with who I am and I am getting better at it. Recently have been reproached by my stepmother for things I didn’t do and my father chose her side, so that also makes me feel isolated, being turned down, set aside…
Thank you for this great test, it was indeed unusual, but definitely gave me something to think about and work with.
It was the best spot on test I ever take.
My result is so accurate! 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.
Wonderful quiz. My answer was “love” and it certainly resonates. I show love easily, but it’s harder to receive. It’s a challenge to receive myself lovingly and accept all of me. This makes it harder to receive love from others who want to love me as I am.
Thanks for the great quiz! I love your work. Such wisdom to share with the collective thank you ! I got Love and it’s true I am having a hard time sharing this in the physical with my twin flame. A past life and between life regression confirmed this connection, and my team of guides and higher self do as well. I long to share this unconditional love openly in the physical realms with my TF. However he has told me it’s not real. It hurts hearing those words come from his mouth when I feel something very different from his soul. The pain has me hold those feelings of love in, afraid to be seen as crazy. I’m the more spiritually oriented between the two of us it’s hard for me not to want to share what I’m experiencing, which is unconditional love and a profound and rapid awakening. I know only I can ultimately know what path leads to my soul’s goal of Union, but I’m hoping for some form of clarity. How can I live freely and express the love I feel for my counterpart without the fear of being judged and pushing them away further? Any… Read more »
love
I got love. I am very self-sufficient and do shy away from close contact. I often describe myself as a classic introvert. I know that my avoidance of love is because of the past relationships which have never been fulfilling or were destructive. I love my children and grandchildren and would do anything for them or my parents. I do give love to my pets . I find that the unconditional love that I get from them is what fulfills me at this time in my life.
I wasn’t surprised with this result.
My result was Love. I think the description of the subconscious mind is a good one.
