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).

Gut Feel & Intuition

Sitting very shrewdly somewhere between our learned and innate behaviours are one of our most important and primeval drivers, called gut feel. After a certain point, even continuing to read this text right now will be coming from your gut feel.

Gut feel has a brother – called Hunch, and they both have a sister, called Intuition.  Hunch and Gut feel are more like brothers, coz boys have those, and Intuition is what girls have. It might sound sexist, but it’s quite true, and it ties to the way our respective minds are wired from birth. And yes, there are plenty of opportunities for crossed wires, but here we will use the distinction to simply reflect the most current biological and scientific observation and understanding.

We all get them, and in different forms. Where do these traits come from? How are they generated? How reliable are they? Can we depend on them? Could they form a key defence in a murder trial? Well, the thing is…

Stop Poking Me!

Unless you’ve already met, please let me introduce you to Pokes. A poke (or pokes) come in many forms. Mum’s pokes were legendary. She could instil a benign madness with just one pointed finger administered to the top of a family member’s shoulder at an angle impossible to defend…

Gut Feel & Intuition – Real Deep dive

We all get them, and in different forms. Where do these traits come from? How are they generated? How reliable are they? Can we depend on them? Could they form a key defence in a murder trial? Well, the thing is, despite them resulting from possibly a high level of non-conscious effort, these feelings or vibes or mental instincts are still all our own. Even though we have a strong captain of our subconscious, our conscious thoughts are our commander and chief.
