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).

Rejection Has Never Felt Better!

Isn’t it funny how relieved you feel after finally getting up the courage to speak to the hottest boy or girl at a party, and your advance is shut down, leaving you feeling like you’ve just been slapped in the face! It might not seem reasonable when the initial goal was for a Vegemite sandwich in the morning, but many feel precisely this way, while others reflect the opposite on their bummed-out efforts with thoughts such as, ‘I knew this was going to happen, what a waste of time, no one likes me, I’ll just go sit down’. If you are one that would feel relief, you can probably go back to Minecraft, but if you would rather beat yourself up in the other camp, then maybe read on.

Affirmations Don’t Work!

Why are so many of us triggered by the word affirmations? Here’s one, ‘Unlock your power”. How does that feel? Are some triggered because of finding poor results? Or because we don’t wish to be reminded how we didn’t really give them a proper go in the first place? How come they seem to work for some, and not others? Are there ‘rules’ for their use? Has the negative opinion of others simply rubbed off on too many people?
