Have you ever come across mind-bending visuals and creative designs that challenge your sight? At first glance, you're often unable to decipher what the image is trying to convey. But as you look closer, you suddenly see meaningful elements appearing right then and there.
Many tests are designed to examine your physical, physiological, and cognitive abilities. These tests claim to reveal aspects of your personality that you might not be aware of. They're also part of the field of psychoanalysis as they shed light on your personality traits. Some of these illusions can even reveal hidden aspects of your personality and desires. One such illusion is the 'Hidden Faces' optical illusion.
The glittery image above features two illustrations and is gaining wide attention on social media, claiming to reveal your dominant personality trait. It shows two figures, and the one you spot first apparently reveals who you are!
The elements that a viewer can spot in this image are:
- A saxophonist (in silver glitter)
If you spotted a saxophonist first, you're likely an extrovert. You enjoy socializing with people and being in the company of others. Everyone wants to be your friend, and you tend to be the centre of attention at every party you attend. However, you also need to take breaks every now and then from the overwhelming social interactions.
If you saw a face first, it indicates that you're an introverted person who likes to remain calm in all situations. You tend to avoid social gatherings, and being in a large group of people often exhausts you. But you also enjoy spending your personal time with friends and family.
Research shows that these optical illusions can provide insights into how your brain works. Some combinations of colours and light trigger us into thinking an optical illusion is something that isn't there.
So, in the comment section, do tell us what you saw first: a saxophonist or a face?
