Design a cross in a piece of white paper. The task is to sketch any shape, symbol, or anything that comes to your mind or has some meaning for you in each part of the page in the following order:

1) left top
2) right top
3) left bottom
4) right bottom

It is quite important to do it in this exact order because the questions we subconsciously make can only be answered in this way.

The real questions are:

cross test questions

So, depending on the sketch you made, it will be possible to get the answers from your subconscious to the above questions.

As you understand, things here are a bit more difficult than in the previous tests, since we should interpret the meaning of the sketched symbols.

If you don’t have any experience in interpreting symbols, then you will need to link each one to an emotion. So you will need to find what emotion is hidden behind each symbol. If you sketched, for example, a flower (which is common enough), then it may be associated with something auspicious and positive. But if instead of a flower you sketched a nail, then the emotions are the opposite.

Do not hesitate to share your results here so that we can help you interpret the symbols you sketched!

NOTE:

The given answers are completely subjective. Even if one answers that his family sees him, for example, as a tombstone, it doesn’t mean that this is the reality. The only certain thing is that this is the person’s opinion. So do not rush to judge anyone.

EXAMPLES:

It is very probable that you will notice that there is a common pattern in all 4 sketches. That may be a sign of depression. For example, one can sketch a well, a tunnel, a broken window, and a snake. The only sure is that this person is in a very difficult period and has a serious risk of depression.

A very difficult case is when someone sketches the same thing with small variations. For example, it may happen when someone chooses to put random numbers in all four parts. In this case, we need to ask him what these numbers meant for him. If the answer is ‘nothing’, then the person is either not ready to learn some things about himself, or his subconscious refuses to answer.

Essentially, the hidden question of this test is “How do I see myself inside me?” The way you think your family and the society see you give the answer to it, while the two following questions hide the question “How do I see myself in the outside world?”

Generally, this test will not give you much information about your or someone else’s personality, but the things it will reveal are extremely deep and important!

    I think this is really interesting. Because it was stated that I could add anything to the 4 sections, I chose my dogs for the first and I do consider them my family. Then I chose my 3 stray cats for the next section. No one I know understands my need to provide for them. In the next section I wrote my best friends’ name and finally I entered Jesus and my deceased family and friends, all of whom I love very much.

    I had $ on the top right, and half mood with star in the middle of it in the top left, circle in the bottom left and smily face in the bottom right. can’t make sense out of it!

    1. Anna LeMind

      Maybe the $ symbol on the top right could mean that, in your opinion, other people think that money is extremely important for you. As for the second one, are you coming from a Muslim family? The circle in the bottom left may indicate that you are generally satisfied with your life and have everything you want since the circle may be interpreted as a symbol of perfection and wholeness. The last symbol could mean that you are in a happy relationship or simply are a positive person.. I may be totally wrong because, as the article states, you need to figure out what these symbols mean for YOU and what emotions they are associated with.

  3. Ana

    Yeah I found this exercise very interesting as well. For the bottom left I had a tombstone drawn, a snake, blood, and then also a sun. That is pretty accurate!

  4. Sami

    Gaming Controller, water drop, question mark, and a fish? In that order.

  5. Cristina

    1) a little girl
    2) a sun
    3) a house inside the world

    Wish I could attach a pic…top left was a rose, top right was a sailboat, bottom left was a sun, bottom right was a multi colored heart that grew too big to fit on the page as I drew, with your typical cupid-like arrow through it. All four were several different bright colors…

  11. rain

    1. heart 2. flower 3. eyes 4. star

    what could be a possible explanation for the eyes? hehe

  12. poppy

    1- joint

  13. wantti

    So… I see myself inside me as infinite, balanced and constantly changing. And in the outside world… Well this is fascinating, lol…

  15. Helena Færch

    Left top: Horse
    Right top: Heart
    Left bottom: Opposite cross (satan’s symbol)
    Right bottom: Arrow pointing to the left

    I’m a horse girl, but at the moment, my sister gets all the attention with her riding, and she almost got her own horse, wich I never was allowed to have… I have never had that much attention, so perhaps the horse shape is symbolizing that I still want my familiy to aknowledge that I’m a horse girl by heart?

    The heart symbol.. Well, I thought about my beloved boyfriend, and since right is my favorite side, and the fact that I prefer top over bottom, I found it obvious to put the heart sign there.

    I’m thinking about converting to the satanistic beliefs, ( and no, it has nothing to do with being evil or other of the common thoughts) So it’s not that weird that I perhaps see the life through a satanic point of view?

    The arrow pointing to the right might symbolize where I want my boyfriend to be – right next to me! That’s pertty romantic, isn’t it?

  16. Nadia

    Left top: Rose
    Right top: Cat
    Left bottom: Pie
    Right bottom: Speech balloon

  17. Michael

    1. Circle
    2. Star
    3. Triangle
    4. Twirly line (like a pigs’ tail)

    What does this mean exactly? These are my estimates:

    1. I think my family sees me as a well-rounded, balanced son.
    2. I think the society sees me as a star child of some kind??
    3. No idea what a triangle would indicate
    4. Love goes around and comes around?

    Wow, this was interesting. I enjoyed reading other people’s answers.
    My answers:
    Star – I think my family views me in a positive light.
    Ocean wave – Society may see just a small part of me, like a wave is a small part of an ocean.
    My husband – A main influence in my life.
    knife – Right now, love is a painful thing for me. Hubby is not so good to me.
