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!

Wow this test gave a spot on result for me! Exactly my fears and weakness that I know of, but encouraging to show my inner strength. Definitely helpful with a couple nuggets of info I hadn’t realized. More food for thought and work to do, thanks!
I had fun, only I completely understand the test, and I know what Im afraid of. I was raped at 5, then 7, and again at 16, I have never been able to get over these events, and Ive tried hypnosis, meditation, and focal trainingIt’s buried deep!!!!!;!
My result was love. And that disturbes me. I am fascinated by it, I have given it and I have received it, yet a repeating trend in my life is that after I formed a bond with someone, it… changes or stops… it becomes a trading game rather then a free flowing energy and it turns from Energy into a currency.
Is love something to put a value to or is it rather something to value on itself I wonder…
Beautiful reflection, and direction. Test certainly gave me something to focus on. Thank you so much for offering this.
Oh my God! Luna! This result was so true! I am the type of person who likes to share and deep in my heart I want to share love with many people. But I am often afraid. Fear of rejection, fear of being abandoned, and other fears that become a great wall of feelings of love for others. I don’t know how to completely eliminate this barrier. I was trying slowly, lifting up any irrational fear from my subconscious.
Thank you for this test, Luna! I’m happy to join this test.
Isolation! Ding! Ding! Ding! Bingo! This test hit it right on the head! I do feel like “a stranger in a strange land” longing for connection. My immediate reaction to the result was surprise followed by a sigh of relief and then full acceptance of this aspect of my self.
Hmm… the thought just crossed my mind that my isolation is also a form of protection, but stepping back from that thought its more like a prison where fear of being totally present and vulnerable is the warden and its corrections officers are the reasons that perpetuate this state of non- being. But the funny thing is that I’ve always had the key within me! Oh well, now for the never ending baby steps from “isolation” towards Divine Union.
Thank you for the work you do!
I got Love. I thought this was a very accurate description of me. It also made me sad though because even though I feel like a person who likes to give love and receive love, due to insecurities and lack of self confidence, I put up walls between myself and others and have not become the person I wanted to be.
I got love. I found this really exciting, as the most important thing I’ve been working on for the last few years is reclaiming my soul from an extremely emotionally and psychologically traumatic childhood. To me this result means I’ve worked through a lot of the nasty stuff and that I’m getting closer to being who I was always meant to be! Thank you so much!
Thank you, remarkably accurate test with great insights. Perfect start to my New Year to focus on what work I need to do.
Holy WoW! Could I have “stumbled” across the subconscious mind quiz at a more perfect time?!? I think not! Bless you kids for being! Yep, just BEING!
