Test: your level of self-awareness

10 questions for those who want to know where “mindfulness” ends and self-deception begins.

You'll see your result right after the test. Don't google the right answers — you already know them.

1. How many times a week do you actually notice that you're stuck on your phone for no reason?

The phone is glued to my hand — I can't keep track I catch myself now and then, but don't always react I clearly see when I've been “sucked in” and can stop

2. In a moment of anger or irritation, what do you do first?

Take it out on whoever's nearby (a classic) Sometimes I catch myself, sometimes not so much I notice the emotion and can pause

3. Honestly: how often do you eat “on autopilot” without noticing the taste?

Oh, I can eat a whole pizza and not remember what it tasted like I catch myself sometimes, but not always I try to eat slowly and with attention

4. Your thoughts after a mistake or failure:

“That's it, I'm a loser” or “The universe is against me” Mixed: sometimes I blame myself, sometimes I look for the cause I accept the mistake and move on without beating myself up

5. Listening to another person:

While they're talking, I'm already thinking up my answer Sometimes I manage to listen, sometimes I slip I listen, don't interrupt and really take it in

6. When someone suddenly irritates you, how do you react?

I get irritated but don't understand why Sometimes I ask myself “what is this in me?” I immediately notice it's my trigger

7. You didn't do something and got stuck — what next?

I feel guilty and stay stuck anyway I catch myself and can sometimes snap out of it I notice the moment and switch to action

8. How often is the “negative radio” playing in your head?

It's on 24/7, like a streaming service It comes on sometimes, but I can switch it off Rarely — I catch it quickly and switch

Come on, this is no laughing matter (and what's it for anyway?) Sometimes I can laugh at myself My way of not getting stuck in drama

10. Do you consciously choose whom you talk to and about what?

Whoever's around, as long as they don't stress me out Sometimes I filter, sometimes anything goes Yes, I choose both the topics and the company
