a cube test experience

Close Your Eyes

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.

how it works

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.

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.
