Find out if you're a 'closed off' person or 'social' in mesmerising illusion

Discover if you're a 'force to be reckoned with' or a bit of an enigma with this fascinating optical illusion.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but could it also reveal your personality type? Just as our body language and facial expressions can give away whether we're fibbing, anxious or joyful, could a simple piece of art do the same?

Naturally, interpretations of optical illusions should be taken with a grain of salt. We're not dealing with hard scientific facts here, but it's entertaining to see if certain traits can be identified from a mind-bending image or clip. Intrigued? You should be.

Take a gander at the image above, what catches your eye first? Don't overanalyse it, just blurt out your answer as quickly as possible. Some people immediately see a tree dusted with snow, while others spot the face of a lion straight away.

TikTok sensation and Stanford University student Mia Yilin, who has amassed an impressive 608.9k followers online thanks to her optical illusion interpretations and candid vlogs, suggests that those who first see the tree tend to initially come across as 'cold' to new acquaintances - but eventually become 'fun' and 'friendly' once they get to know each other better.

When it comes to romance, these individuals aren't the type to chase after love, preferring instead to wait for the other person to make the first move. Does that ring a bell?

"You'll give them your all and fight for them regardless of what people might think," Mia added, as reported by the Express. "Because you're a very private person, people are constantly curious about your life, which makes you all the more attractive and interesting."

If you spotted the lion first, Mia suggests that you have an outgoing personality and enjoy socialising. However, you tend to avoid conflict and let others take the lead rather than getting involved in heated debates or arguments. She claims: "Tons of people want to be your friend and you're also very resilient - never letting anything tear you down."

She also added that you're the sort who's always daydreaming about your ideal life and setting lofty goals. "Because of how intelligent and hard-working you are, you know that your dreams will definitely come true," she explained. "All in all, you're a very powerful person."
