(Image credit: BrightSide YouTube) Recently, a YouTube channel called BrightSide shared a deceptive illustration: The narrator shows an image of the big blue face of a cat with two sets of eyes. However, the big blue cat also has a mouse inside it! But what if we told you that what you see first in this video indicates whether you are an optimist or a realist? That’s right, this video is a kind of personality test that estimates a person’s core personality traits. What makes this even more interesting is that each person viewing the image may have a different opinion and therefore there is no right answer to the following question:
Who do you see first in this photo? Is it a mouse or a cat?
If you have your eye on a cat, you are like most people- A realist- someone who knows what he wants in life and doesn’t build castles in the air. You are good at making difficult decisions because you are a realist. In addition to being practical, you also have the ability to make very good decisions. You have a holistic view of the world and you see things as a whole, not in parts. This perspective allows you to comprehensively plan your future actions. On the other hand, if you spot a mouse first, you are most likely an optimist. This awareness shows that you are not looking for the worst in a bad situation. Instead, you want to look for the best in every situation. Sometimes you may feel that you are not very practical and that your head is in the clouds. But that is far from the truth! You believe in focusing on the bright side of things and being optimistic about the future will eliminate the misconception that you are just dreaming. However, these personality tests can have varying degrees of reliability. Some tests may be developed by qualified professionals, while others may be created solely for entertainment purposes. It’s important to remember that no test can fully capture the complexity of an individual’s personality, so it’s best not to rely entirely on the results.
