Free Chakra Test
« on: January 30, 2015, 05:51:02 AM »
This is sort-of like a Carl Jung personality test, except shorter and for the chakra's.  I found the test, the color graph and percentage results to be useful and fairly accurate over the last 6 months. The rest of the site isn't really relevant or useful for most of us here.

http://www.eclecticenergies.com/chakras/chakratest.php

If you are curious, then give it a shot and let us know if your results correlate with your own self-observations. Maybe take a ctrl+print screen and post a picture of it.

Here's my most recent one. It seems to correlate with stages of development regarding level of attainment, consistent level of jhana, etc. I've had non-mystics, auto-pilots, and stream-enterers take it. So far it's been very accurate. The auto-pilots tend to have results which show nearly empty chakras across the board.

I don't see much point in the "under-active", "over-active" distinctions. But the percentages are useful.

Mine...



Didn't realize my sacral and root were so low though. I apparently have an overactive throat chakra...

I'm not exactly sure if it corresponds, but since I used to be a... "INTJ" and recently became more of a ISTP" in Myers Briggs. I guess there was a lot more of my heart opening up. I used to be very logical and rigid.

My typical results and your comments coincide with mine.

Would it be better to have a more balanced distribution throughout, or just the heart chakras to the crown? From what I understand, the heart seems to be consistent with the first, the throat with second and so on.

Having a low root and sacral, would this indicate poor health?

In my experience as a mystic one would want just the upper 4 chakras blazing, and forget the lower 3.
There is no progress without discipline.

If you want to post to this forum, then send me a PM.

I don't often work from the foundation of the chakras like this. To me, it's more useful as just another dot that connects with the rest of the dots in this journey of ours. So, I would suggest comparing your results with your life experience so far, and see if you gain any insight--as it seems you just have.

I guess the heart aspect. It would have been more useful if I could take the test before I opened up my heart so that the contrast would be there haha.

It's interesting you say this, as I'm developing a diagram/flowchart that integrates and defines all the main milestones as one develops. So, if you wish to see validation of your efforts reflected to you via a source outside you, then you might have it soon. It's a much larger undertaking than I initially saw coming of it.

At first it was just explaining for local aspirants the distinctions between what i see as the main intelligence cores (instinct/body, intellect/mind, intuition/spirit, consciousness/awareness), but it soon became this sprawling fractal...thing. LOL. I think you'll find it interesting and helpful once it's finished.

Until then, you might try something I've had success with which is to reflect on what you were like before you began practicing, and fill out the test that way. So you read the question, intend for a memory to arise fitting your parameters, and then observe it and record your answer to the question. That should give you a glimpse.

I just tried doing it. Of course there might be some projection of what I think was in the past, so the results aren't entirely accurate, but there is really quite a huge difference:



The percentages definitely weren't as high haha.

I think it relates. I used to be ensnared in lust... a lot. That should explain why my sacral chakra was so prominent as compared to the rest. It took me the joy of the jhanas to move away from it. Although there is the occasional recoil tendency which I'm able to catch myself at the spark of the thought.

While there will be some projection of your memories to an extent, as you develop further you'll be able to recall much more honestly, often accessing previously unknown details of the memory. So, ironically, a few months from now you might be able to take the chakra test (basing the answers on memories of your past) and actually get a more accurate result--despite the memories now being older than before. LOL

Sorry if that's difficult to understand. I am experiencing difficulty expressing today.

Latest results. These brought me to consider "The Middle Way" from the suttas.

Hmm, I suppose I missed this. the results make sense to me. I suppose I should work on my expression, however in the questioning, I found that i answered how I prefered to be, rather than if needed, how I could be. An example of this is being a leader in a group, or voicing an opinion. These questions required some context in which to answer as I would prefer to keep silent, but if the situation dictated otherwise, I do not hesitate or shy from it.

I found the correlation interesting.

Crown- I very much like this chakra and attend to it often. I feel like this one is the most important. I feel a connection in it to the space around me and far beyond. It is by far the most prominent and most appreciated, even though in the past it has left me with "knowing" things, at the time, that I did not wish to know. I will rely on this chakra and associated feeling before any other.

Third-eye- Tends to be open most consistently, and I have learned to rely on it nearly as much as the crown. It used to bother me a lot; shadows moving across my line of vision and in meditation imagery, however, it does not effect me in the way it used to and I appreciate the awareness it can bring, especially in reminder.

Throat- Tends to open more than I would prefer, however, when needed, it can open to the point it chokes me. Sometimes I feel things are better left unexpressed, as debating and rationalizing externally only serves to distract me from my own introversion and comfort. Besides, 9 times out of 10 they do not wish to know anyhow. With that said though, I found this chakra to be a doubled-edge sword; while its beauty can pour oneself into expression, often it leads to a greater burden.

Heart- Open often, but not as much as I would like. While this chakra does not have the same familiarity in feeling to the 3 above it, the uniqueness of it, to me, makes it worthwhile to pursue, and often I sit with it. I feel it is this chakra that will magically open the tear ducts right along with its expansive compassion.

Navel- Never open, although I can open it. I do not care for the feeling of this chakra.

Sacral- Like the Navel, I do not care for the feeling of this chakra, however, there are times.. I notice the chart puts this chakra equal with the throat chakra. This one tends to be my biggest pain in the ass, and is not cooperative, whereas the throat chakra is extremely cooperative. Why they were set equal, I do not know, but I would prefer this one to be closed and cooperative.

Root- Like the two previous, I do not care for the feeling, but I do feel predisposed to it. Often it will open in thoughts of security for my family. In reflection, my life has "leaned" on this chakra many times. It drove me to "stability", for lack of a better word. It also tended to drive "purpose", which has been something I have nearly let go of all-together. I noticed this chakra would flare exponentially the few times I practiced Qigong.

Haha, I'd like to note that I re-read the descriptions I posted on each chakra and it felt so good to actually think about them in reflection. I believe I will have a good meditation tonight, and I am very happy I took this opportunity  :)

I got INTP on the Myers Briggs test.

I'm glad you found so much value in the test, Cal :)
