Optical illusion exposes key personality traits – depending on what you see first
Optical illusions can reveal hidden aspects of your personality and provide insight into how your mind operates.
To get the most out of them, you need to clear your mind and stick with your initial response to the image - typically answering 'What do you see first?'
In a TikTok video shared by @picpsy, viewers are asked to identify whether they first see a panda, bear, or wolf in an image. The clip then explains what each choice signifies, with the narrator stating: "When seeing a panda, you possess a strong sense of empathy."

It says: "You prefer to process challenges alone, not revealing vulnerabilities to others. In relationships, you're guided by feelings. If it feels right, you commit wholeheartedly."
Commenting on the post, one user said: "Bear - now that's more like me." Another user added: "But I see a dog." A third user said: "Anyone else see a face?" One more user added: "I see a bear." According to Psychology Today, personality tests are "transparent and straightforward tools anyone can understand, even though creating them requires training and diligence."
A statement reads: "Millions of people take personality tests either to learn about themselves or because others – like potential employers – want to know about them. To some, these tests can seem like magical devices that reveal their hidden selves. Others may see them as bogus gimmicks that are useless or even actively deceitful.
"The tests achieve something hard to accomplish otherwise: they systematically ask about many aspects of people’s personalities and directly compare their traits to those of many other people."
