A landscape, a piece of music or an unexpectedly quiet moment can stay with you for reasons that are hard to explain. Was it connection, wonder, stillness or a shift in what mattered? Explore the different qualities behind experiences that feel larger than the routine of the day.
Take the free Spiritual Experience Test: 42 original questions exploring 6 separate areas. The questionnaire and basic information are free. Your detailed personal analysis is optional.
Explore the differences behind your answers
This questionnaire separates six qualities of meaningful experience rather than deciding how spiritual you are. People can share an experience and describe it differently: religiously, philosophically, emotionally or in ordinary language. The report follows the experiences you endorse and keeps their interpretation open to your own context.
Think of an ordinary recent situation rather than the answer you believe you should give. The same overall impression can come from very different choices. Keeping the areas separate allows you to compare the parts of your profile without forcing every answer into one description.
What the 42 questions explore
Felt connection
This area explores moments of belonging within nature, relationships or a wider human world. It concerns a felt quality of connection rather than an opinion about how the universe works. Such moments can be brief, ordinary and compatible with many religious or nonreligious interpretations.
Wonder and perspective
This area explores encounters that feel striking enough to interrupt your usual sense of scale. Nature, art, music, ideas or human achievement can invite wonder. The focus is the experience of perspective shifting, not a claim that wonder always has the same effect or makes someone more virtuous.
Absorption and stillness
This area concerns moments when you become comfortably absorbed and the usual stream of commentary or clock-checking recedes. It can occur during music, gentle activity, contemplation or attention to a place. It is distinct from a claim that losing awareness or seeking unusual states is necessary or desirable.
Meaning carried forward
This area explores whether a meaningful encounter continues to shape priorities, gratitude or everyday choices after the immediate feeling has faded. It distinguishes a lasting personal significance from the intensity of a moment. A small experience may matter deeply without needing to be dramatic or difficult to explain.
A sense of special significance
This area explores whether some moments have felt set apart from routine, deeply significant or worthy of special care. You may call this spiritual, sacred, profound or none of those words. The focus is the felt quality, with the explanation left open to your own outlook and circumstances.
Experiences beyond easy description
This area explores the gap between an experience and your ability to communicate its felt quality. It concerns moments when a factual account seems incomplete, a metaphor feels more useful than a summary or another person understands only part of what mattered. Difficulty describing an experience is not proof of its cause or importance.
A report built around your responses
The detailed report follows your actual selections. Each area receives its own score and interpretation, and every saved answer remains available to review. You can compare what stands out, where your responses are more mixed and which statements explain a difference between two areas.
Reading the explanation alongside the answer review matters. Two people can reach a similar score through different responses. The questionnaire organises the experiences or positions you select; it does not supply the circumstances of your life or decide what other people think.
How to take the test
Think about experiences you recognise from your own life, including ordinary moments rather than only exceptional events. Choose how strongly each statement fits what you have experienced. Spiritual language may or may not be the language you personally use. You can answer without holding any particular religious belief. Read opposite-direction statements carefully. There are 42 statements and five response options. Allow around 5-8 minutes.
Read each sentence on its own terms. Some statements point in the opposite direction, so selecting the same option automatically will not express a consistent position. If a statement feels difficult, consider one real example and choose the option closest to your usual response or view.
Free basic information and optional detailed analysis
You can complete the questionnaire and read the basic information without making a purchase. If you want to explore the detail, the optional report opens all 6 area scores, the interpretations matched to them, a complete review of your 42 answers and practical reflection prompts.
Your purchase also includes the downloadable personal report and the companion e-book Making Room for Meaningful Moments. One optional payment unlocks this additional material. There is no recurring plan.
Understand the scoring
Each area summarises responses to its own statements on a 0-100 scale. The values do not add to 100 and do not tell you what percentage of people are like you. The explanation in the full report shows how points are calculated and how to read the descriptive ranges.
This version uses original Mind Indicator questions. Research in the bibliography provides background for the topic. Published questionnaires and their population norms have not been copied or applied to the new statements.
Questions before you begin
How long does it take?
Allow about 5-8 minutes for 42 statements. You can take the time you need to read them carefully.
Do I need to choose an identity or label first?
No. Answer the statements separately. Your report compares the areas and keeps the underlying responses visible, so an existing label does not need to decide your choices.
What makes the detailed report personal?
Your selections determine the score and interpretation in each area. The full answer review lets you follow the connection from an individual statement to the summary rather than relying only on a general description.
