Americans woke up Wednesday feeling either hopeful or dejected after last night’s election that confirmed Donald Trump as the 47th president of the US.
Now a new optical illusion claims that what you see first reveals how you are likely to respond to the polling results.
The two images, set against a red background, reveals whether you live your life through a logical or emotional lens.
The image invites viewers to look quickly and note whether they see an apple or a man and woman staring at each other.
Seeing one image will indicate that you are logical and are geared to carefully think through situations before making a decision.
The other reveals that you’re an emotional person and are compassionate and sensitive to those around you.
An optical illusion asks viewers which they see first: an apple or two faces staring at each other
Seeing two faces means you look at the world from a logical point-of-view
If the first thing you noticed was two faces, it means your personality is geared toward more logical thinking.
When you’re presented with a decision, you take your time to weigh the pros and cons to make the best choice while respecting the opinions of people around you.
This way of thinking entices people to come to you for guidance or advice, trusting that you’ll help them decide from a calm and rational place.
While you are open and welcoming to people who seek your advice, you are also selective about the people you accept into your inner circle and find it difficult to easily trust others.
There are moments where taking a more selective approach to your relationship can feel tiring, but this just means you value quality over quantity when it comes to your friendships.
If you see an apple first, it means you are a more emotional person by nature
But if you spotted an apple first, it indicates that you are a more emotional and highly sensitive person who speaks their mind and makes people feel comfortable around you.
Others are drawn to your compassion and sensitivity and know you are their go-to person if they need validation or someone to vent their problems to.
They recognize that you will provide the type of response that will make them feel understood and appreciated.
If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, remaining silent will also come more naturally to you because you don’t want to draw unnecessary attention to yourself.
These types of optical illusions use visual trickery to reveal people’s personality traits or desires by analyzing how they perceive ambiguous images.
The type of illusion, as shown here, is called a figure-ground illusion that forces our minds to switch from one image to another, meaning you may have noticed the cat first and the mouse only a second later.
When we look at the world, we observe information in small pieces so we don’t overwhelm the senses which forces us to focus on a main object while everything else becomes part of the background.
