Personality tests are fun and engaging ways that claim to reveal a person's true traits, behaviours, and preferences. They offer insights into how people think, feel, and interact with others.
These tests can range from scientific assessments like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to fun quizzes and optical illusions. Since most of these tests are fun and easily accessible, they have become quite popular on social media.
This particular test, for instance, was shared by Marina Winberg -- a Neuraleaner and Antistress expert, on social media recently. It is based on a weird image and depending on how you interpret the image, a lot can be revealed about you, she claims.
At first glance at the image, a person can either see a man running towards them or away from them. Based on what they notice first, Marina says that the test can reveal a person's true thinking patterns.
To take the test and know more about yourself, simply relax and look at the above image. Now, read its meaning below:
1. If you see a man running toward you, it means...
"This indicates you have a more "male" brain. Your motto: *Less talk, more action.*
You're pragmatic and prefer solving problems using analytical skills, facts, and solid reasoning. You focus easily on a single task and learn quickly when something interests you. However, multitasking is harder for you—you prefer concentrating on one thing at a time," Marina shared in the social media post.
2. If you see a man running away from you, it means...
"This suggests a more "female" thinking style. You rely on feelings and intuition and don't rush decisions.
Your brain thrives in creative environments. You love order in both your surroundings and thoughts, excel at planning and organizing, and effortlessly juggle multiple tasks. You have an excellent memory and openly share your emotions with loved ones. While logic may sometimes take a backseat to emotions, your structured approach helps you stay balanced," she explained.
However, one needs to know that this test is not scientifically proven and it is only for entertainment purposes. And so, if the result doesn't truly match your personality you shouldn't worry too much about it and take it lightly.
"Remember: No matter your thinking style, maintaining a balance between emotions and common sense is key," Marina further says.
