This mind-blowing optical illusion reportedly reveals something about your social skills. Discover what it says about you now!
Many are intrigued when they stumble across an online optical illusion because the little brainteasers can be so much fun—especially when they make you think outside the box!
One optical illusion has the internet in a whirl and claims that it can determine whether you are a charismatic chatterbox good at befriending others or a quiet introvert who prefers their own company.
Created and shared by Mia Yilin online, the optical illusion presents an image and depending on which animal you spot first—a lion or a pair of zebras—it could supposedly 'reveal the truth' behind your personality type and how you approach friendships.
Mia provides the interpretation for either outcome, starting by explaining what it means if your eye catches sight of the zebras first.
But before everything, take a peek at the image first!
So, which animal did you see first? The lion facing you, or the two zebras?
According to Mia, spotting the zebras suggests that the person has extroverted tendencies and is good at engaging in light conversation and forming relationships.
'If you first saw the two zebras, then you're great at making small talk and forming friendships,' she explained.
'You always know what others want to hear and as a result, are able to bend them to your will.'
But with deeper problems, these people prefer to keep personal issues to themselves and only find comfort from their 'close friends and family'.
On the other hand, Mia suggested that if the lion was the first creature to spring into their field of vision, the person may have introverted tendencies and enjoys their own company to a greater degree.
She said: 'If you first saw the lion, then while you're someone who likes to hang out with friends every once in a while, deep down you're more of an introvert and cherish your alone time.'
'You rarely raise your voice against others because you understand that simply being loud doesn't achieve anything.'
These interpretations have stirred chatter among Yilin's followers, with many commenting on how accurate they found her descriptions to their own personalities, spurring even more debate and intrigue.
'Spot on.' One user commented.
While another said: 'I can't understand how you get information out of what we see first and [it] blows my mind … you're 90% accurate.'
However, one user disagreed with the interpretation and said: 'First time [you’re] wrong.'
