Discover how you like to step into the unknown.

A thought experiment to see how your mind naturally engages with uncertainty and possibility.

Uncover the hidden patterns in how you adapt, explore, and innovate when faced with the unfamiliar.

How do you navigate the in-between? What drives your curiosity? Where does your thinking thrive in uncertain spaces?

Through this experience, you’ll gain insight into your unique cognitive approach, helping you tap into new ways of learning, creating, and making sense of your world.

🚀 Step forward. The unknown is waiting.

Instructions:

🌀 Imagine yourself in each of the situations described and choose the response that feels most natural.

🚀 This isn’t a test—there are no right or wrong answers. It’s an experiment in how your unique thinking system operates and an exploration of your cognitive diversity.

🧠 If more than one answer feels right, pick the ones that feel most dominant to you. Your instinct is part of the experiment.

🎨 Approach this with curiosity—your mind is creative. This is just a way to see it in action.

💡 We take a safety-first approach in your social innovation lab. Your responses help make The Liminal Space a safe and creative space for you and our community.

You enter a strange room where gravity tilts sideways, objects float, and time moves unpredictably. What’s your first move?

I move immediately, testing what’s possible—jump, spin, touch things, push limits. Let’s see what happens!

I take a step back and observe—what’s consistent, what changes, what are the patterns?

I try to move efficiently—how can I adapt to this space and make it work for me?

I stop and reflect—if the rules of reality are shifting, what does this say about perception itself?

I look for others—how are they reacting? Maybe we can explore together and compare what we experience.

I stay still and observe—no need to react immediately. Some things reveal themselves over time.

A stranger presents you with an object you don’t recognize and asks, “What is this for?” What do you do?

I examine it closely—how does it feel, what materials is it made of, does it resemble anything familiar?

I experiment—press buttons, twist it, shake it, try different things to see how it reacts!

I wait and hold it—sometimes the meaning of an object reveals itself when you don’t force an answer.

I analyze its design—how could this be used? What function does it suggest?

I ask around—maybe someone else has a completely different take that I haven’t considered.

I wonder if it’s not an object at all—maybe it’s a message, a metaphor, or a clue to something larger.

A doorway stands in front of you. It leads somewhere completely unknown. You don’t know if you can return. What do you do?

4c2fe366b16b9f715d4111309853d29b--side-effects-optical-illusions-3623453209

Step through immediately—adventure is waiting on the other side!

Inspect the details—does the doorway itself give clues about what’s beyond?

Pause and wait—sometimes doors open on their own when you’re ready.

See if I can control the entry—do I have tools or knowledge to make this safer?

Ask others—does anyone want to go in together?

Reflect on the bigger question—is this really about what’s behind the door, or what stepping through represents?

A sealed box sits in front of you. There are no instructions. What do you do?

mandyhornbuckle_A_sealed_textured_alien_box_on_a_flat_backgro_a19aa294-cbf3-47cc-8198-08fda2095d8b_3

Pass it around—maybe a collective perspective will help figure it out.

Look closely at every detail—does the texture or design reveal anything?

Sit with it—some things are meant to be observed, not immediately solved.

Shake it, knock on it, try different ways to open it—let’s see what happens!

Question whether it’s even a box—what else could this represent?

Check if it has a practical mechanism—how would it normally be opened?

You wake up to find the sky is a completely different color. Everyone insists it has always been this way. How do you process this?

I gather evidence—photos, records, anything to verify what’s real.

I question my memory—could I have been wrong all along?

I test reality—if the sky changed, what else did?

I sit with it—some things reveal themselves over time.

I explore what this means—does reality shift more often than I thought?

I adapt—if this is the new normal, I’ll adjust and move forward.

You are given a puzzle with no instructions. How do you approach solving it?

I dive right in—I love figuring things out through trial and error.

I step back and analyze—what patterns or clues can I find?

I start with what makes sense—can I use logic or experience to solve this?

I question the puzzle itself—what does it reveal about how we approach challenges?

I work with others—we can solve it faster and in more interesting ways together.

I take my time—some puzzles reveal their answers when you don’t rush.

Let's keep experimenting together!
