Optical illusions have been popular globally for many years, and some of them are bouncing around on TikTok, where enigmatic visuals are shared across various profiles. These images aim to provide us with insights into our underlying personality and character traits, whether we seek them or not. One such contributor of these is Charles Meriot, and one of his optical illusions has garnered over ten thousand views. Have a look.
What do you perceive in the image?
Regardless of the optical illusion, the most crucial question remains constant: "What do you perceive in the image?". According to the creators of these illusions, there are two potential answers, but the first one is what truly matters. Charles Meriot elucidated both responses for internet users.
Meriot states that if you noticed flowers initially, it suggests you are individuals who easily succumb to boredom. Due to this, you are constantly searching for something to captivate your interest and engage your mind. This could involve social interactions.
What if the first image isn't flowers?
If it wasn't flowers but a face, which is the second "correct" answer, you represent people who possess the exceptional virtue of patience complemented by meticulousness. What striking qualities!
- If the first thing you observed was a face, it signifies your highly detail-oriented disposition. You appreciate the beauty in things and recognise that patience is the secret to success - Charles Meriot explicates on TikTok.
Interestingly enough, the interpretations he offers coincide with what internet users perceive and their character traits.
"My answer is 'flowers' and you're spot on. My mind can't keep calm, I'm always on the hunt for something intriguing", "Flowers, I truly do get bored quite quickly, incredible!", "For me it's the face, how did you ascertain?" - we glean from the comments below the video.
