What the mirror hides
Face the mirror: a free Jungian shadow test
The mirror does not show what you are; it shows what you hide. Four rounds, and if you stay divided, one last word. Pick the sentence that would wound most, and meet the shadow you carry.
How the shadow test works
You see four rounds of sentences. In each round, pick the sentence that would wound you most, not the one you agree with. The mirror reads your choices and names the shadow you carry: one of eight figures, the Judge, the Impostor, the Tyrant, the Ghost, the Beggar, the Saboteur, the Martyr or the Orphan. If your answers stay divided, one last word decides.
Your reading shows how that shadow works in you and how to own it. Go deeper (3 credits) goes further and ends on a question that opens your session with Dr. L. The first reading is free and needs no account. It is a reflection, not a psychological diagnosis.
The eight shadows
- The Judge: the verdict you fear, you deliver
- The Impostor: the mask that fears the face
- The Tyrant: control is fear in armor
- The Ghost: absence is also an act
- The Beggar: hunger wearing pride
- The Saboteur: the hand that drops the cup
- The Martyr: the wound worn as a crown
- The Orphan: belonging, lost and guarded
