Time of Day Quiz
Midnight
Like a hushed night, you deepen your time alone, imagining what can't be seen.
Midnight is a time with few sounds. You may even hear distant noises you'd never notice during the day. You, too, tend to let your thoughts and imagination grow in a quiet a little apart from the bustle.
On a dark night, you can't see the shapes of things clearly the way you can by day. Instead, the stars and moon come out, and there's time to picture what you can't see. In the same way, you can enjoy imagining the answer to an open question rather than hurrying to shine a light on it.
Midnight, 12:00 a.m., is also when the date changes. It's the boundary where the end of one day and the start of the next overlap. Inside you, too, the end of one thing and your next idea are quietly connected. That can make it hard for people who want an answer right away to see what you're thinking.
Strengths
- You can enjoy not knowing, just as it is
- In your time alone, you can deepen your imagination and your thinking
- From outside a lively room, you can calmly watch how the conversation is flowing
Where you may stumble
- While you're deepening your thinking alone, you're late telling people about it
- You give a hazy answer to someone who wants a clear decision
- When busy plans with lots of people keep coming, there's no time to let your imagination roam, and you feel unsettled
Sounds familiar, Midnight?
- Walking at night, you find yourself listening to a train in the distance
- On your own, you see the clouds in the sky as shapes of other things
- You keep a collection of unanswerable questions written in the margins of your notebook
Where you shine
When you want to take time alone to let your thoughts grow, or to face a question with no answer. Like picturing stars you can't see in a dark sky, you can imagine things that have no shape yet.
Tips for “Midnight”
- Try telling someone just one line of what you've been imagining
- When someone asks you to decide, give one answer as “what I think right now”

Dusk — Dusk can also go without hurrying to an answer. Even when Midnight is holding something it “can't quite put into words yet,” Dusk doesn't force it into words, and enjoys the conversation just as it is.
Dawn — Dawn also spends its time in the quiet. Dawn checks, little by little, the ideas Midnight has let grow, and gives them shape. From night into morning, things move forward and the quiet stays.
Midday — Midnight wants to leave ideas that haven't taken shape yet in the dark for a while. Midday wants to bring an idea out in front of people the moment it comes up and check it. You handle ideas in exactly opposite ways, so each other's pace can look too fast or too slow.
