What you see first in optical illusion can show if you're 'lonely' or a 'leader'
Optical illusions aren't just fun to do, but apparently they can also reveal certain hidden details about your personality, based on what you see first. So are you a leader, or more lonely? It appears optical illusions aren't only fun to look at, but some believe they can be used to reveal hidden personality traits you might have. Optical illusions use colour, light and patterns to play tricks on our vision. As well as being fun, they are also believed to help us better understand vision, and show how our eyes and brain work together. Some people believe optical illusions can also be used as personality tests, which involve looking at an image that can be viewed as several different things. And what you see first is supposed to be able to reveal certain details about your personality. These tests, based on psychology, are a fun way of learning about yourself. One optical illusion has been causing a debate online recently, after it was shared by psychologist Marina Neuralean on TikTok. And according to the TikToker, what you see first can help reveal your true personality. She explained: "The test will show what kind of person you are. If you see a bird, you have big goals but sometimes you feel lonely. If [you see] two crocodiles then you are a leader and don't like to be controlled." The optical illusion was also shared by TikTok channel @psychologylove100, which explained a similar test: "What you see first will reveal a very specific aspect of your personality." It goes on to show the image and asks people what they saw first - crocodiles, a bird of a face. According to the Psychology Love channel, if you saw the crocodiles, you're likely a very sensitive and creative person, who is able to see beauty in simple things. They added: "You are often inspired by your surroundings. You have a great imagination and are able to think innovatively to solve problems. You're draw to the arts, music and literature." However, if you saw the bird, perhaps an eagle, you're more likely to be an observant and analytical person. The video continues: "You have a keen mind and are able to see the finer details in things. You're also very perceptive and able to understand things quickly. You are drawn to science, mathematics, and logic." They also claim some people can see a face, or a profile, within the image. Those who spot that are said to be rational people with a "strong sense of logic". The video adds: "They are able to see things from different angles and understand different points of view." In the comment section on TikTok, many were baffled by the illusion. One person said: "No matter how you look at it, there's no bird in it." Another agreed, adding: "2 crocodiles, I'm searching a bird by applying physics method but still can't find them." However, someone else explained: "The bird is the mouths of the crocodiles tail is the between the bottom jaw beak is the tip between the top of the crocodiles."

What you see first in optical illusion can tell if you're 'logical or creative'
What you see first in this optical illusion, a duck or a rabbit, can help determine whether you are a 'logical' or 'creative' person, according to a psychologist Some people believe certain optical illusions can be used to reveal hidden personality traits you might have. These personality tests involve looking at an image that can be viewed as several different things, and see what you see first. These tests, which are based on psychology, are a fun way of learning more about yourself. Take this one below, this has actually been used for more than 100 years. The optical illusion has recently caused a debate online again, after it was shared by psychologist Marina Neuralean on TikTok. She shared the famous sketch, and asked whether people saw a rabbit or a duck in the image first. If you see a rabbit first, she explains it's more likely your left brain hemisphere is "more dominant". This could mean your "mathematical abilities" and "talent for logical step-by-step thinking are often admired by others". She continued: "You excel at tasks requiring precision, such as writing, reading and calculating and you possess outstanding analytical skills." In addition, the psychologist claims those who see the rabbit first value "clarity and structure" and love solving "complex problems" and enjoy finding "clear answers". Meanwhile, if you saw a duck first, Marina says your "right brain hemisphere is probably more dominant". According to the psychologist, this means you're a "creative person with strong intuition" and have a "vivid imagination". She continued: "You love to express emotions through visuals, and love to dream and explore new ideas. You're inspired by music, painting and other forms of self-expression that allow for creative thinking." She also said you find joy in "unconventional solutions" which bring "vibrancy to everyday life". In the comment section there were a mix of people who saw the rabbit and the duck first - and those who could only see one of the animals. "There is no rabbit I swear," said one person. "I'm still searching for the rabbit!!" added another. Another wrote: "I saw a duck first then the rabbit," and similarly someone else commented: "I could see both, but first the duck." This duck-rabbit drawing was first used by American psychologist Joseph Jastrow in 1899. He wanted to make a point that perception is not just what a person sees, but also a mental activity. He suggested the faster you can see the second animal, and the faster people can change their perception of the drawing and switch between the two animals, the quicker your brain works - and the more creative you are.
