Inkblots: What Drives Your Subconscious

The one thing silly internet quizzes all have in common is the results are never a surprise. Until now, apparently. I would not have said this about myself. And I'm just obsessive enough to analyze it to death.

Your subconscious mind is driven most by Reserve.

You approach the world with your guard intact because unconsciously, and perhaps consciously, you want to maintain an element of control in your relationships with people. You tend to hold your private experiences just out of reach of others. You're not one to immediately show all your cards, to let people into who you really are until you're ready.

Unfortunately, that sometimes means you also hide things from yourself. You may find that your desire to remain guarded backfires, affecting your self-awareness. Why are you like this? It's possible that you act in this manner because of a deeply-rooted fear of being exposed, or of truly expressing yourself. To protect yourself from this fear, you act in the opposite manner — you are guarded.

There is a certain respect that comes with resistance, an unconscious understanding that the human psyche is very vulnerable. We all feel we have a lot to hide, and you are not one to be intrusive or thoughtless about how you approach sensitive topics with others. Therefore you inspire a sense of safety in others when they are around you. Your psyche is very deep, very rich, and the more you can let yourself know (both the good and the bad), the more you will be able to appreciate who you really are.

So what's hiding in the collective subconscious of the AH? (aside from all the butt sex, that is )

I thought that might be the siren call to get you to post....

Hush, I'm taking this 56 page inkblot test. Damn!

 

[blackhaus7]

I thought that might be the siren call to get you to post....

Geez, min. 56 fucking questions? I'll do it when I get time.

This shit tends to onlly confirn what I know about me anyway. I try not to let anyone else in on it.

 

[minsue]

Yeah, it's a wee bit long. I agree.


Black, normally I say the same. I'm still spending waaaaay too much time trying to decide if I agree with it this time. Can anyone say "avoidance behavior"? Why spend time doing shit that needs to be done when I can obssess about a stupid internet quiz?

In my case, I know myself way to well. Even worse, I don't fool me. Any self-discovery stuff only reinforces what I already know. I'll do the inkblots, but I'll bet you there's nothing new there.

But that doesn't mean it's not useful for someone else.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Black. I'm not pushin' you to do them. I'm just bored.

Besides, I doubt there's anything useful for anyone there.... I'm easily amused, that's all.

I have a horny wife five feet from me that will get my attention sooner rather than later. That's why I really don't give a shit at the moment.

But later? Who know.........

Well at least you've got your priorities in the right order

OK. I did it.

I was annoyed from work, having a couple of drinks - this went well with my train of thought this evening.

Sarah, your subconscious mind is driven most by Imagination

You have a deep desire to use ideas to change the world around you. This drive influences you far more than you may realize on a conscious level.

You love to brainstorm and imagine new possibilities. The world is a fuller, richer place because you can contribute new ideas to any experience. Your natural curiosity inspires those around you and encourages them to come up with ideas they wouldn't have discovered without your help.

Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are.


I wonder if the results were influenced by my having to go to the bathroom very badly during the last 20 questions?

You know you're allowed to get up during the test, right? They won't mark you off for that....

 

[entitled]

your subconscious mind is driven most by Kindness

You have a deep desire to be kind and fair to others. You are preoccupied with finding kindness in the world around you, far more than you may realize on a conscious level. This makes you unusually empathetic and very sensitive to other people's feelings.

Your kind nature makes you an optimist at heart and allows you to see the best in the people around you. Because you're not judgmental, others seek you out when they need a friend.

Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are.

 

[minsue]

No fair. You both got much nicer ones than I. *pout*

 

[yui]

Yui, your subconscious mind is driven most by Peace

You have a deeply-rooted desire to make peace in the world. Whether through subtle interactions with loved ones, or through getting involved in social causes, it is important to you to be able to influence the world in a positive way.

You have a deep respect for humankind. You care about the future of the world, even beyond your own involvement in it, and you inspire others to feel the same way. Your innate drive toward peace guides you in daily life towards decisions that are respectful toward yourself and others.

Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are.

Hiya Min! I thought I would be "Reserve," too.

SSS, I like your psyche!

Edited to add: Kindness is a nice thing to be driven by entitled.

Peace ,

Yui

What????

Actually, I didn't want to. I had a cold beer in my left hand, a kitten in my lap while I clicked answers with my right. The bodily squirming was inevitable.)

Damn. Yours is better, too. If it weren't so damned long, I'd take it again til I got one I liked.

See, my arguement is justified.

I think the test is telling me that I would like to buy the world a Coke.

As for retaking, don't! Your reserve gives you a still-waters-bluesy-music-sad-half-smile sort quality that is very appealing; it just makes us want to know more about you.

Hey Min, nice quiz! Very interesting indeed. heres my results:

your subconscious mind is driven most by Love

Everyone has a desire to love. But your desire is rooted very deeply in your unconscious and affects many of the decisions you make in life — whether you are aware of it or not.

You have an energy about you that inspires people to experience their true feelings of love and act kindly towards others. In this way, you and your drive for loving relationships start a chain reaction of positive experiences.

The reason you are driven by love, may be because your unconscious is trying to avoid the opposite of love — hate. You, more than others, may be afraid of experiencing severe discord with others. That may, in turn, heavily influence your choices about relationships and the way you communicate your ideas, wants, and desires to others.

With such a strong orientation towards loving others, your relationships hold a very special place in your life. Your capacity to love may be greater than those around you, and therefore you may have more to give in relationships than your romantic partner does. Remember that this is a gift you have and one most others don't possess.

That was interesting.

Ink blot story

Before I take this test I have to tell you guys this story.

I used ot live with this guy, great friend. And he had spent some time in a hospital ward for problems. He was telling me about his inkblot test. His answers were thinks like "A vampire sucking the blood out of a virgin" or "An eagle with a pig in its talon's dripping blood".

After about 5 "blood" answers he thinks "wait they may think something is wrong with me" til the next card comes up.

"That one's a butterfly".

OK off to take the test now.
