It can disclose the instinctive bias of your brain and possibly provide insight into your personality, as our brains make quick judgments based on pre-existing information. It can also highlight some of your potential blind spots.
The original author of this optical illusion on TikTok was content creator Mia Yilin, who is well-known for her interpretive illusions. Depending on what you observe first, you can determine if you are a well-organized individual who values timeliness or if you value freedom above following set rules.
You saw the gummy bears
As Mia states in her video, "if you see gummy bears first, then you are a very organized and punctual person." You strive to make the most of your time and appreciate productivity."
You saw the grapes
The person who saw the grapes first, on the other hand, "finds peace with nature and prioritizes quality over quantity when it comes to relationships. If you saw the grapes first, you "long for adventure and freedom."

While literal optical illusions compress two images together to convey information about your perception, cognitive and physiological illusions rely on overstimulation and contradicting information to produce the illusion.
