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!

Well as for my inner spritual gift was Empathy and I’d say that is pretty close to my Sensitivity. Which I choose to believe is another spiritual gift that God has blessed me with. Even though there are family members who think it is a burden to carry not a blessing at all. (You’re “Too sensitive..”) As for my subconscious mind, yes def Anger fits for me because I struggle with anxiety and have a mood disorder. Yet if you met me you would only see a quiet, reserved controlled woman. However, I have learned about Mindfulness and this has helped me tame the tiger. (lol!)
Isolation. Everybit of what was said is absolutely true. I do feel like this all the time. I don’t even know where to begin to try to remedy this feeling. It has become an all consuming state of being for me. It is too much to bare and that frightens me because I haven’t made the wisest choices in dealing with this feeling and even those choices aren’t helping anymore now all I want to do is escape from this pain permanently. I feel as though I have no other options left.
I got fear! I am in total agreement., butI have no idea of what I’m afraid of. I know it’s there. I channel my actions in different situations. I lack confidence even in areas where I have already proven myself. I’ll get in the situation and freeze up. I don’t know why. What is it thats stopping me from asserting myself and living with a bold confidence. I look in the mirror, I’m not enough, strong enough, mean enough, but I can feel that little light of doubt in my being , and it dominates my actions. Why don’t I believe in myself. Everyone one around me thinks I have what it takes. Why am I so scared?
Contempt. Honestly that scares and upsets me on so many levels. It also concerns me that maybe I am not seeing the real picture specifically in my relationship. I’ve been concerned that I could be projecting negativity from my past into my current relationship even sabatoging it. I am so very, very confused.

It was so right on I’m in shock with a tear rolling down my face because its what I’m facing in life right in this moment. So thank you I guess I need a little truth for thy eyes. Iam truly amazed at how dead on this was!
It is very accurate. I am a very heart centered spirit in all aspects of my life except intimate relationships. I have been single for 9 years, healing a broken heart. More importantly it has taken 9 years for me to understand why I was attracting this to myself. I accept full responsibility for my reality and know I am the manifestor of what ever comes into my life. I am now ready to move on and welcome the experience of love without compromising myself. This message reinforces the path I am on. Thank you! Sending thoughts of love, light and healing for all!
As a natural energy healer working at Soul level without tools or gimmicks for 20 years and following an active Kundalini awakening 28 years ago I am amazed this test suggests I need to give more love! As an esotericist and one who works for global ascension in mediation I wonder how I can channel and give more love than I do and have done all my life because it’s in my natal chart in many manifestations and I was born to heal. Obviously I have long left the subconscious behind. But this was fun. Exactly the opposite because I work with the Christ consciousness and am 3 years into the Pashupatastra so the love is very tangible in my aura. Love is unlimited not unconditional for humans and I work in love and live in it.
Surprising answer. So different from results other quizzes gave me. I got ‘love‘, but weird enough I do not pay attention to others and like to be on my own. However, now that I think about it, it could make sense.
In my dark past I was bloody serious in school, I didn’t laugh at most jokes in class, except when the teacher laughed as well, I had fun too.
Also when somebody stretches out their hand to me, I tend to keep in contact with them, and not let our ‘bond’ dry out.
This may all be connected to my enigmatic subconscious, that wants to receive (and return?) people’s love. Even though I am working on becoming an individuality, I am very self-aware and in my past I was continuously adapting myself to others.
Even if ‘love‘ is as distant from my heart as peace in the Middle East, it will influence my nasty way of thinking for the rest of eternity. All stinky humans are loving beings after all.
This test was scary accurate!. I have lost connection to myself and own spirituality. I feel lonely and isolated not because of people around me but because I’ve lost myself. Being gifted and empathic I feel at times has made me crawl deep within myself because of the balance of evil i feel lingering in the light of good i guess. The hard part is i don’t feel like i have the strength our motivation to go searching for myself since in reality in right here. Does that make sense? Anyone else feel this way?
