About Toolbox Quizzes

Simply being aware of some aspects which drive and influence our daily lives is a powerful first step to turning inward with curiosity and care, and which may initiate further ideas/choices.

Quizzes can be conducted with or without a support person, and are useful for individuals to:

  • Build better awareness of how they see themselves.
  • Explore their inner world with curiosity, not judgment.
  • Support emotional wellbeing, creative expression, and personal growth.

And for professionals to:

  • Aid counsellors and psychologists to use these tools at their own discretion.
  • Coach and educate to foster metacognition and reflective learning.
  • Further narrative therapy, dialogical therapy, and cognitive-behavioural approaches.

Quizzes may additionally prove beneficial for user selected third parties (IE in a pre-employment assessment situation, sports coaching, or professional counselling environment).

Enjoy a happier, more fulfilled life by connecting with your own subconscious

I’m a dreamer…

My grandmother in the late ‘60’s used to enthusiastically say, “Oh, Deane you are such a romancer!”. Despite it taking another ten years to work out that it had nothing to do with Romeo & Juliet, it still took another ten years to work out she was right. I really do have tonnes of stuff racing round in my head.

Thinking separates us. Action cements us. Make best use of the beautiful you and discover how damn little we really know!

I’m a muso…

A chance bumping-into while on holiday in Fiji led to a karaoke bar, then to a dreadful R.E.M ‘Man In The Moon’, then to (as I held our new five-week-old daughter in my arms) a frowning wife from a drunken commitment to ‘Let’s be a band!’

Why strive being the best when you can simply be better than you’ve ever imagined.

I’m a husband & dad…

A crazy blind date at ASB Tennis Centre, Auckland 1994 lead quickly to hot-dates, great-mates and a life-mate. One hell of a ride. Wouldn’t change a thing – even after losing an eye.

It’s true you can’t pick your kids, but if I could, I’d still pick our one. And my wife as well.

Curious?

What’s it all about? Providing opportunity for people to better understand themselves through a down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach to how and why our conscious-Self (our thinking) connects to our Subconscious (which does everything else!) Who’s it for? Anyone. How does it work? A custom charter-based not-for-profit project expounding the virtues of modern positive psychology as popularly proposed by Martin Seligman, particularly with self-improvement and gaining better understanding of how the mind works ‘mechanically’ to shape and influence our goals and life experiences. What’s the cost? Nothing. What’s the catch? We can’t find one. Users freely scan various topics and content. Email addresses are not collected or required, though we happily accept approaches, enquiries or questions managed in accordance with user choices and our data policy. Is it legit? Content is verified by qualified psychology professionals. Any implied or references to spiritual or religious overtones is within a factual, scientific context. Main Goal? Encouraging greater control and freedom toward a more satisfying way of life, to accept what and who we are, and empowering normal folk toward being ‘super-cool powerful humans’.
