Viral optical illusion reveals if you are independent
What’s the first thing you see in this picture? A viral optical illusion apparently exposes the viewer’s strongest personality traits.
What do you see?
A viral optical illusion is said to reveal the viewer’s strongest personality traits including whether they’re too independent or have a strong intuition, the New York Post reports.
The visual psychological test is one of many optical illusions posted on TikTok by content creator Mia Yilin.
“What’s the first thing you see in this picture?” she asks in the video.
When stared at long enough, the photo depicts both a white man’s face with black swooshed hair and the side angle of a black and white penguin with a blue background
Depending on how a person interprets the trippy image they may see a man or a penguin.
Yilin claims that whether the viewer sees the man or the penguin first reveals the truth behind their personality.
If you see a penguin
She explains that those who see the penguin first are likely to be independent spirits who crave freedom and autonomy.
These people thrive when they have the space to pursue their own interests and goals.
They are sometimes described as aloof or distant but this is because they prioritise their alone time.
If you see a man
Those who first see the man in the image apparently have a “sixth sense when it comes to people.”
They have incredible intuition and a reliable ability to sense other people’s emotions and intentions.
However, these people tend to doubt themselves and constantly seek validation from others which causes them to second-guess their own instincts.
The video has gathered 576,000 views as people stare at the image and attempt to get to know themselves a bit better.
The optical illusion is similar to a Rorschach test, or the inkblot test, which consists of a 10 series of symmetrical blots where the subject states what they see.
The answers are used to measure thought disorders to identify mental illness.
