Personal Alchemy Quiz

The purpose of this free, self-scoring quiz is to help you determine your current level of personal transformation and suggest appropriate alchemical operations to pursue. The Personal Alchemy Quiz was developed in group meetings with people undergoing psychological and spiritual change, and it has proved useful as a guide in determining a person's inner alchemy. As long as you are consistently truthful in answering the questions, the quiz can be used repeatedly to provide at least some indication about how your alchemical temperament is changing.

Print out the forms for a permanent record and retest yourself regularly to see how your personal alchemy is changing. After you have answered all the questions, go to Section 4 for an automatic interpretation of the results. The Personal Alchemy Quiz is divided into the following four parts:
