When making decisions, do you go with your what your heart or your head is telling you?
For those of us who are more rational, doing what our head tells us is often the way to go - but emotional people are more likely to follow their heart.
If you can't think which side you lean more towards, a new optical illusion could point it out. Experts over at Jackpotjoy have created a simple test that reveals a key personality trait based on which animal you spot first.
The illusion features four animals hidden in plain sight, and the animal you notice first reveals if you're a more rational or emotional person when it comes to decision making.
So, try out the illusion below and see which animal is most obvious to you...
If you saw an elephant first
If you were drawn to the elephant, you’re more likely to be led by your head than your heart - thinking over major decisions and weighing up all the pros and cons, rather than jumping in quickly.
The elephant also indicates various other personality traits including confidence, calmness, and an ability to reassure and comfort others when needed.
People who spot the elephant first are also most likely to come across as trustworthy and have great communication skills that could make them more suited to being a leader.
If you saw a lion first
If you were more drawn to the lion, chances are you’re more likely to decide things on impulse and follow your heart over your head.
Seeing a lion also identifies you as being someone who is likely to be very energetic and strong, with a powerful personality and a sense of impulsiveness.
People who saw a lion first may also notice that they aren't great when it comes to attention to detail, preferring to focus on the bigger picture instead. They are, however, also likely to be seen as highly dependable and a rational voice that can help settle arguments.
If you saw an ostrich first
While these large birds are known for burying their head in the sand, those that see an ostrich first in this image are likely to have excellent instincts, and therefore trust their heart over their head.
Seeing an ostrich also identifies you as being someone who is likely to be confident and driven with a curiosity to learn.
You are also likely to be highly extroverted, thriving best when surrounded by friends and family. Ostriches must rely on their instincts to survive predators and are able to stay calm under tremendous stress.
While being more instinctual than rational, if you see the ostrich, you are likely to work well both under pressure and alone, and in large groups.
If you s aw flying birds first
If you spotted the birds soaring above the tree before anything else, you are most likely to be a logical thinker who tends to trust your head over your heart.
You are likely to value your freedom and spontaneity above all else.
While you may be able to make last-minute or quick decisions when needed, you do prefer to consider things first rather than diving right in.
While you may come also across as being quit carefree, you’re also more likely to always keep the bigger picture in mind – just like a bird soaring through the sky.
