About This Quiz

While your imagination may be known only to you, it affects the way you interact with the world and is reflected in your personality. The imagination is sometimes thought of as the bridge between the conscious and unconscious worlds, between waking and dreaming life. In the imagination, we play out possibilities we fear, desire, or are curious about. It can be a way to process turbid emotions or while away boring hours. 

Imaginations, of course, are as unique as the people who daydream, but they can have common characteristics. Like the personality, the imagination is not entirely under the control of the person but seems to have its own being. Through coming to an understanding of the movements of your imagination, you may unlock aspects of your personality that otherwise perplex you. 

The recurring scenes of your dream life, the images and fantasies you return to in downtime, and the inner worlds you create can reveal what drives you and what you desire. While a personality type shows what characterizes how you interact with the world, the link between your imaginative life and your personality opens the potential to understand what will ultimately fulfill you. If that’s hard to imagine, you can open your mind with this quiz!
