Optical illusion personality test: What you see first reveals people’s first impression of you

There are many mind-boggling illusions over the internet but this one particular illusion has captured the attention of many.

What makes this one illusion quite interesting is that whatever the viewers see first in this image, it tells a lot about their personality.

Look at the illustration below and tell us what did you see first:

This mind-bending visual can tell a lot about people's first impressions of you. The illusion features a pride of lions lounging by a tree in a wild nature scene. However, some viewers have spotted a hidden face within the image - a lioness formed by the branches of the tree. The image - posted to TikTok by user Mia Yilin - suggests that what people see in the image first could reveal a lot about their personality.

According to the image, there are two categories of people - those who saw the tree first, and those who saw the lioness first. If you saw the tree first, you may be someone who seeks solitude and prefers staying at home to socializing with others.

While you try to be happy, it can be hard for you to shake off negative feelings and move on quickly. If, on the other hand, you spotted the lioness first, you might feel awkward in social situations and dislike small talk, which could lead to feelings of being outcast or misunderstood.

If an individual notices the image of a lion, they are viewed as socially aloof and disliking small talk, giving the impression of a cold and distant personality. However, as one gets to know that individual better, their natural demeanour is revealed. On the other hand, if the image of a tree is the first to be noticed, people may perceive the individual as a friendly and outgoing social butterfly. Nevertheless, deep down, the individual knows that this perception is not entirely true.
