Optical illusion personality tests are strange-looking images that trick your mind while interpreting them (thus called illusions). These psychology-based images in turn helps one in understanding themselves better as they reveal one’s lesser-known personality traits that depend on what one sees first.
In this optical illusion personality test, there are two main elements in the image– a man’s face and a question mark. Based on what one noticed first upon first glance at the image, a lot can be understood about that person, especially about if they are kind and righteous or hard working and under-confident. This particular image was initially shared by optical illusion specialist Mia Yilin in a video which was posted on social media.
To take the test, simply look at the image and notice what you saw first.
1. If you saw the question mark in the image first
If you fall in the first category of people who saw a question mark in the image above, then it means that they are doing really well in life– be it their careers or hobbies. Such people are big dreamers, hardworking, and they love having some goal to work towards always. “You are a go-getter. You’re always striving for personal and professional growth. You set a lot of ambitious goals and are willing to put in the work to achieve them,” Mia said in the video.
While these people are very hardworking, on the contrary they always doubt themselves and are underconfident. They can sometimes even be their worst critics as they always strive to do the best in whatever they choose to do. However, one needs to realise that mistakes or failures only helps one grow and be better. And so, one believe in themselves and trust the process. “Remember to celebrate your successes along the way and don’t be too hard on yourself,” Mia shared her advice for such people.
2. If you saw a man’s side face in the image first
On the other hand, if you first saw a man’s side face then you seem to be quite caring and kindhearted towards all, and people admire this quality of yours. “Honesty is your superpower. You believe in authenticity and doing the right thing, even when it’s not the easiest path,” Mia said.
But, because you are honest, kind and caring, you also expect others to be the same which isn’t the case. Sometimes, you can also be too trusting only to get hurt in the process. “Sadly, not everyone shares your moral compass and it can be disappointing when others don’t meet your standards,” Mia added.

Optical illusion personality tests, as the name suggests, are specialised images based on psychology. In these pictures, there are one or more elements that can be interpreted in different ways and depending on what a person saw first, a lot can be understood about them. Thus, these optical illusions are fun tests that reveal a lot about a person’s hidden personality traits.
This particular image has two main elements– a cat and nature. Depending on what one sees first, the picture can help in understanding if a person is a reliable person or too carefree in life. This image was first shared by an account named @psychologylove100 on TikTok. To take this test, simply look closely at the picture above and notice what you saw first. Now read on to know what it means:
1. If you saw a cat’s face first
Then it means that you are a reliable person, and quite determined on your goals. You are also empathetic, and people appreciate you for your generosity and kindness. However, your kindness shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness by others as you do not tolerate bad behaviour or injustice in life. You are calm, confident, and optimistic in nature which helps you navigate challenges in life. People close to you see you as an easy-to-approach yet no-nonsense person.
2. If you saw the forest first
If you notice the forest at the center of the optical illusion then it means that you are a gentle and kind-hearted person. However, you also come across as someone who is naïve and this makes others manipulate you. You are curious and carefree in nature, and this sometimes prevents you from setting clear boundaries in your life.
How accurate are these optical illusion tests?
While optical illusion personality tests are fun to take, they are not 100 per cent true as they give very basic and generic results. And so, these tests should not be the only way to understand yourself or someone better.
