We, humans, are intensely affected by the environment we live in. What affects our surrounding leaves an adverse effect on us, or let’s say it this way—it leaves an impression on our brain. An impression that we ourselves aren’t aware of. We call it an unconscious part of us — an unconscious brain. This unconscious mind of ours has an enormous power — it’s like a reservoir of mysteries, it relates vague memories from the brain to the objects around us (1). That’s exactly why at times we feel that we have faced or come across a particular situation beforehand. It gives us a feeling as though we knew the event was going to happen. The objects we choose around us also determine our emotional state of mind.
Below, we have curated a basic psychological test that will help to analyze your emotional state of mind. Imagine yourself in the basement of a house, as pictured below. You can find a lot of items there. Which of these caught your attention first? Which one do you want to remove from the frame? Choose one of the items from the given picture and see for yourself what the results are!
1. Swing
The object swing stands for everything to do with sensuality or desires. It indicates that you have a certain addiction or some obsession in life.
2. A Doll
This is easy to interpret. A doll symbolizes one’s childhood. You choosing it relates to the fact that you are still a child at heart and refuse to grow up!
3. An Open Can Of Paint
The color here stands for your vivid emotions. The open can is you trying to express those emotions.
4. A Closed Can Of Paint
This points to the obvious opposite of the above object. A closed can represents all things negative — aggression, anxiety, and the insecurities that you have deceitfully hidden within yourself.
5. Bicycle
Isn’t riding a bicycle all about balancing? Here, it speaks about our inner balance and our thirst to go on new, unexplored adventures in life.
6. An Apple Basket
The basket here is like a collection. This collection is of your knowledge, wisdom, happiness, and everything that you have learned from life.

A nail seems to be very negative in nature. It represents violence, which is present in you for yourself, as well as for those around you. This shows your emotional state is very disturbed.
8. Helmet
This object stands for protection and courage, both of which represent a warrior’s spirit. At the same time, it also symbolizes one’s inability to make stable decisions in life.

12. Painting

A wheel comes to use only if it’s aligned with something, probably an alignment between the people and their environment. It also talks about how we want to run in circles all our life, refusing to change.
14. Sausages

20. Broken Mirror
A mirror symbolizes us self-analyzing ourselves. The broken mirror refers to how torn apart one has become in one’s struggle through life.
21. Tongs
