a cube test experience
Picture a desert. Then tell me what you see. I'll tell you what it means.
I did not create the Cube Personality Test, but took it years ago and have not stopped talking about it since. It felt specific in a way most personality tests don't. Less "are you an introvert or extrovert" and more "here's an interpretation about your imagination that's a useful snack to chew on."
I started asking people about their "cubes" at parties. It became a thing. Friends would bring it up months later. There were laughs, there were tears.
One year at my annual vision board party I made a collage of my cube instead of a traditional vision board. It had turned into a guide for me.
I wanted other people to have that moment. So I made this.
It takes about 10 minutes. Trust me, it's worth it. At the end you'll get a little phone-sized collage that's yours.
This is a visualizer guide with some questions. First, you picture a desert scene in your head. Wide open, quiet, all that space. I'm going to slowly ask you to add items to your scene in detail. The details you land on — size, color, material, distance, how everything relates to each other — are the raw inputs that map to something real about you. No right or wrong answers. All interpretations. Go with whatever comes first.
Free. No account needed. Takes about 10 minutes.
You'll need ChatGPT Plus or Canva to generate your own image. But this is what's waiting on the other side.
what you're actually describing
The Cube
That's you. Not who you perform as — who you actually are when no one's watching. Its size, material, color, and position all say something specific.
The Ladder
Your goals and your people. Where it sits relative to the cube says a lot about how close your relationships actually are — and how you carry ambition.
The Horse
Your ideal partner. Or whoever you keep ending up with. Color, behavior, distance — all of it maps to what you're actually looking for in love.
The Flowers
The connections and moments that fill you up. How many, where they are, what they look like — that's your relationship to joy and other people.
The Storm
Whatever you're carrying that feels outside your control. How close it is, how bad it is, whether you're in it or watching from a distance.
