This optical illusion can 'reveal' a bit of your personality—what does it say about you?

Optical illusions have always fascinated many because they 'twist reality' and trick our eyes. But sometimes, these illusions are more than just fun puzzles—they can also tell a bit about a person's personality.

How people see and react to these illusions can show how their minds work, how much they notice details, and how open they are to new ideas.

For example, whether someone quickly spots a hidden image in an illusion or focuses on other things can suggest if they like making quick choices or are good at paying close attention.



Even though it's not exactly 'science', exploring how people see optical illusions adds a unique way of understanding how our minds connect with the world.

Case in point: this optical illusion circulating on social media. Members, what do you first see in the photo below?

Recently shared by a person named Mia, the photo shows a half-eaten apple or two faces of a man and woman. According to her, your personality determines which one you spot first.

If you see the man and woman first, this is a sign that you are more logical.

As explained by Mia: 'You're a kind person and have strict morals, but you don't like to be blindly led by the heart into making silly, poor decisions. Instead, you think things through every step of the way.'



If you spot the half-eaten apple first, you're more driven by emotional intelligence. Mia said it does not necessarily mean you're 'unstable and always upset'.

'It implies that you are very good at reading hidden signals and always know the right things to say in social settings,' she explained. But it may also mean that you choose to remain silent and could feel others belittle your intelligence.

This optical illusion has sparked some interesting responses on social media. While some saw the man and the woman and felt the description was accurate, others saw the apple core first and were pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the description.



Some even commented that they saw the two images at the same time. Although Mia did not provide an explanation for this. If you experience the same phenomenon, maybe you're a mix of logical and emotional?

Key Takeaways

  • An optical illusion posted on social media by Mia can supposedly determine whether someone's personality leans towards logic or emotion.
  • According to her, seeing the faces of a man and a woman first indicates a logical personality, while seeing an apple core first suggests an emotional personality.
  • Mia explains that those with emotional tendencies are good at reading hidden signals and know what to say in social settings but may also choose to remain silent and feel their intelligence is underestimated.
  • Many viewers reacted to the post, with several commenting on the accuracy of the optical illusion's supposed revelations about their personality.



As we said earlier, this optical illusion isn't exactly scientific, which is why we want to remind our dear readers that while this makes for good entertainment, a lot more factors are at play when it comes to how people perceive the world.

So, what about you? What did you see first? Do the results of the optical illusion accurately describe your personality? Let us know in the comments!

Before I read the full article, I saw the black dot on a teal pyramid and orange sky which changed immediately to the grey image about 5 seconds later. I don't know if I blinked or not for it to return to the original image.

Tried again, turned grey, consciously blinked and it took 2 seconds to revert to colour again. So I don't know.

We sure did, funny I grew up in St George area, as did hubby . We have lived in bulldogs territory for 35 years plus and have gone for the Roosters since hubby and I were in high school.
