The Limiting Belief Quiz

The Limiting Belief Quiz™
What’s holding you back from

the life you want to be living?

Try on this belief by saying it to yourself:
“I am the creator of everything in my life,

and I can create whatever I want.”
If this doesn’t feel true for you, what is it exactly that prevents you
from creating your ideal life?
There are two categories of possibilities: external blocks and internal

blocks:
1. External: real-world physical conditions and limitations that exist
outside yourself; and
2. Internal: conflicting or limiting beliefs inside of you.
No matter what you want to create, both kinds of blocks and barrier appear
in your way as soon as you make a commitment. Why? Because it is part
of the automatic function of the mind. Whenever you decide to create
something new, everything that was previously created that is in
conflict with that new thing rises up and re-asserts itself.
This little-known law of creation is the cause of more failures than anything
else. Blocks, barriers, and resistance are natural and can be expected.
The only difference between successful people and those who are not
successful is that successful people learn to handle them with various
strategies, such as inner work, persistence, work-arounds, clearing
techniques, getting help, enrolling others, etc. People who are
unsuccessful simply stop or give up in the face of these natural, expected
blocks, barriers, and resistance.
If you want to be successful, study what comes up in the process of
accomplishing your goals, and learn techniques for dealing with them, one
by one. We teach dozens of techniques in our book, Creating On
Purpose, but like any skill, they require some learning and practice to get
good at them.
A limiting belief is any internal belief or certainty that you are a particular
kind of person, and there’s nothing to be done about it. For example, “I’ll
never learn to play piano” is a belief that limits your possibilities. The truth
is, anyone can learn to play piano. It just takes perseverance with lessons
and practice. What stops people from becoming a person who can play
piano is giving up somewhere along the way. This usually comes from
another limiting belief: “I can’t,” “It’s too hard,” or “I’m not talented.”
Once you identify the belief that’s coming up, it can be changed fairly
quickly using The BeliefCloset Process®, or another belief-change
methodology.
If you want to create a particular condition in your life, such as a great

relationship, greater financial security, or fulfilling your life purpose, you can
do so – if you’re willing to confront and deal with your limiting and
conflicting beliefs that get in the way and undermine your best efforts.
Whenever you hear yourself say, “That’s just the way things are,” or “That’s
just how I am,” you can be sure that there are limiting beliefs just
underneath the surface.
This quiz will help you expose some of your own subconscious limiting
beliefs. Limiting beliefs are not permanent – if you’re willing to do the
digging required to root them out. Once you clear the old belief, you can
then plant a new empowering belief. It’s like planting seeds in a garden.
First you clear the ground, then you plant the seeds in fertile ground so
they can grow. Your beliefs create your attitude, your orientation toward
life, your interpretations of events, and your experience of reality. If you
transform your beliefs, you can transform your life.
Beliefs can be “tried on,” as you would try on an outfit at a clothing store.
Some clothes fit you better than others, and every outfit makes you feel a
certain way. Some clothing makes you feel comfortable, others
uncomfortable. Some make you feel sexy, while others make you feel
competent or successful. The same is true of beliefs.
The Quiz:
Try on each belief by saying it to yourself out loud. Feel how “true” it is as
you say it. If it’s not true at all, mark it with a “0.” If you sort-of believe it, or
believe it some of the time, mark it in the middle. If it feels absolutely true
about you, mark it with a “5.”
Circle the number that fits your conviction, or “truth” about each
statement.
Not true at all 0–1–2–3–4–5 True almost all the time
I am not able to change things I don’t like about myself. 0-1-2-3-4-5

I can’t change the circumstances of my life. 0-1-2-3-4-5

my needs.
You can’t change other people. 0-1-2-3-4–5
Things are the way they are, and I can’t do anything 0-1-2-3-4–5
about that.
The future will be pretty much the same as it now. 0-1-2-3-4-5
There’s only so much love to go around. 0-1-2-3-4-5
I feel stuck. 0-1-2-3-4-5

Scoring the Quiz
Now, total the value of all the circled numbers in your answers.
If you scored between 0 and 40, congratulations! You’re not limited by

your beliefs! If you want to make your life even better, examine the beliefs
that you feel are holding you back from creating what you want. Eliminate
them, and replace them with beliefs that empower you.
If you scored between 41 and 60, your beliefs limit you in some parts of
your life. You can learn to change your beliefs easily, and remove the
limitations you feel are in the way. Begin by writing down the beliefs that
repeat themselves inside your mind. Then, using one of the belief-change
technologies, shift them, one at a time.
If you scored between 61 and 80, your beliefs are significantly limiting the
possibilities for your life. If you want to change yourself or your
circumstances, learn how to change your beliefs, one by one. With each
shift in your beliefs, you become more and more able to create the life you
want. A huge brick wall can be taken down by removing one brick at a
time. Eventually, the whole barrier falls down.
If you scored between 81 and 100, your beliefs have a strong hold on
you. You may feel stuck in limitation or lack. If you really want to change
your life, you can begin a deep study of your own beliefs. Learn which ones
are merely assumptions, which ones were conclusions you came to at an
early age, and which ones were indoctrinated into you by others. If you’re
willing to question your own beliefs, you can change anything in your life –
and make it better. The first belief to change is, “I can’t change.” It’s just a
belief – not an absolute truth. Then, you can begin to change one belief at
a time, making small, incremental changes until you’re on your way to a life
of happiness.
