An optical illusion that has gone viral on social media claims to offer insight into the personality of the viewer based on how they interpret the image.
Mia Yilin shared the visual trick on TikTok, with a caption that read, “What’s the first thing you see in this picture?”
Viewers who see a penguin in the image are an “independent spirit,” according to Yilin.
“You are an independent spirit who craves freedom and autonomy. You thrive when you have the space to pursue your own interests and goals,” Yilin explained in the video. “Sometimes, you come across as a bit aloof or distant but that’s just because you prioritize your alone time.”
Viewers who first saw a man in the image have a “sixth sense,” according to Yilin.
“If you first saw the man, then you’ve got a sixth sense when it comes to people. Your intuition is off the charts and you can easily sense other people’s emotions and intentions,” Yilin explained. “But at the same time, you often doubt yourself and seek validation from others, causing you to second-guess your own instincts.
Yilin has shared many other optical illusions on her TikTok page, which has over 450,000 followers and nearly 10 million likes.
