Optical illusions and personality tests are abundant on the internet. But remember, they are primarily for amusement, and we shouldn't assign much credence to the psychological verdicts posted underneath them. It's all a fun brain exercise.

What can you decipher from this picture?

Mia Yilin, a TikTok user, is known for unearthing compelling optical illusions. She frequently posts intriguing pictures on her account, each accompanied by a commentary detailing what the specific image might suggest about the viewer's personality. Many people have remarked in the comments that her interpretations remarkably mirror their own self-perceptions.

A Brain or hands? Can this illusion reveal your truth?

"If the first thing you noticed were hands, it tells me that you are a very trusting individual. You tend to have a positive perception of others and even when someone wrongs you, you are often quick to forgive. But, there's a caveat. If someone offends your family or takes undue credit for your hard work, you may bear that grudge lifelong," explains Mia.

"On the contrary, if the brain caught your attention first, you are likely a very logical thinker. You're intuitively sharp and often sense when people are acting surreptitiously around you. Nevertheless, you generally opt against confronting them as you find their secret plots rather amusing," she further elaborates.

The video is brimming with comments. Numerous viewers concurred with Mia's deductions, and it turns out that most of them observed either the brain or hands, or even both simultaneously. "I noticed the hands over the brain simultaneously, which makes me a bit of both. It's so accurate it's scary," pens down one TikTok user.
