Optical illusions, often mere visual tricks, can surprisingly unveil aspects of our personalities. TikTok, a hub for such explorations, features creators like Mia Yillin (@mia_yillin), known for optical illusions doubling as personality tests. In a viral post, Yillin presented an illusion revealing self-critical tendencies.
The illusion comprises a black crow atop a rock and, beneath it, a man’s face formed by stacked boulders. Yillin asserts that your perception depends on your personality, emphasizing two distinct reactions:
- The Crow: If noticed first, it suggests a judgmental nature. Mia clarifies this isn’t necessarily negative; rather, an indicator of strong intuitive judgments often proven right.
- The Face: First noticing the face reveals intense self-criticism, serving as a defense mechanism against fear of rejection. Mia encourages overcoming self-sabotaging thoughts to fulfill personal aspirations.
Mia’s precision on TikTok garnered praise, with viewers applauding the accuracy of her insights. The viral illusion not only entertains but also prompts introspection into our own cognitive responses.
