This test is known as the "cubic personality test" and was developed by Japanese psychologists in 2000. It was first published in the best-selling book by Tadahiko Nagao and Isamu Saito "Coccology. Psychological games". The authors focus on a deep analysis of the human psyche using the theories of Freud and Jung.

The book proposes to answer a number of questions formulated in such a way as to determine a person's attitude towards loved ones, family, love, work and other aspects of life. Basically, this is a self-discovery game that allows you to learn interesting and funny facts about yourself by answering completely innocent questions.

The Cube in the Desert test is one of the most popular tests described in the book by Tadahiko Nagao and Isamu Saito.

What makes the test special?

Unlike many other questionnaires, the "Cube in the Desert" test forces you to dive into your subconscious in search of something we didn't even know existed. Thus, you can get a deeper and more real understanding of your own personality.

Ready to try? Then let's get started!

We give you a few tips, and you try to mentally recreate in your imagination all that you see.

To begin with, imagine that you are in the desert. And it is simply huge. In the middle of this desert is a cube. Do you see him? How big is this cube? Where exactly is he standing? Is it submerged in the sand or standing on the surface? Does he move? What material is it made of?

Think about it, then move on to the next clue.

Suddenly, you realize that in the desert, in addition to the cube, there are also stairs. What material are they made of? Are they big? New or old? Where do they stand in relation to the cube?

A horse appeared in the desert.

Does it move? In which direction is it heading? Can't imagine a horse? You should not worry about this.

Just write down on a piece of paper everything that you cannot create in your imagination.

Now imagine the flowers.

How many of them are in front of you? Where are they in relation to all other objects? With what kind of soil do they grow?

I hope you brought an umbrella because there's about to be a storm!

Do you see it coming? How strong is the wind? Is the storm just visible in the distance or are you standing right in the middle of it? Does it have any effect on other items you have previously presented?

What is the meaning of all this?

The cube represents the human ego.

If in your fantasies it has large dimensions, then you are a rather self-confident person. Compact dimensions indicate that your distinctive character traits are modesty and shyness.

If the cube is submerged in the sand, you like to plan everything in advance. And if it is located directly on the surface, then you have a business style of thinking.

A moving cube means that you think outside the box and avoid limitations.

Stairs symbolize friends.

If you imagined a staircase leaning against a cube, then you have a very close relationship with your friends and you count on their support. If the ladder is on the side, then you prefer to be independent.

If the stairs lie under the cube, then you are an authority for your friends.

If the cube and the ladder are placed on the same level, then you and your friends have the same influence. And if the ladder is above the cube, then your friends are your authority.

Short stairs mean that you prefer a close circle of acquaintances. If they are long, then you are an extrovert who has a lot of social contacts.

A horse is a symbol of an ideal life partner.

If the animal represented by you is a strong workhorse, then your ideal soulmate should be a hardworking and reliable person.

Imagine a more gentle animal? Then you see your ideal life partner as someone who takes pride in their appearance and loves to pamper themselves.

If the horse stands far from the cube or runs in the opposite direction from it, then you are now emotionally distant from your current partner or he is far from ideal.

Flowers are children.

How many colors you imagined, how many children you would like to have in real life. If these flowers grow next to the cube, then you either aspire to a close relationship with your children, or you already have such a relationship.

Are the flowers far from the cube? Then you simply do not value a close relationship with your own child.

A storm is an expression of your fears.

At what distance from you did you imagine the storm? The further she is from you, the less worries in your life. The fact that the storm has almost reached the cube means your readiness to deal with a conflict situation.

And if the bad weather rages directly above the cube, then right now you are completely absorbed in current worries.
