As individuals, we each have our own strengths and weaknesses, and some of them we are not even aware of. In this optical illusion, you’ll soon figure out what your good and bad traits are depending on what you see first.
Understanding One’s Self
While we can easily judge others just by looking at them, it does not mean that you can also see yourself as to how others perceive you. Most of the time, we tend to be subjective of ourselves and even deny other people’s criticisms (or compliments) about us. The reality is that being self-aware is a skill that you will have to learn as people are not born with it.
It is a real challenge to learn self-awareness as it also is one significant factor in achieving success. You can’t easily and effectively navigate every journey if you are not aware of your capabilities and limits. To help you with that, we’ve prepared this optical illusion that may help you figure out your strengths and weaknesses.
The Optical Illusion Test
What makes an optical illusion addictive and interesting is that it can easily deceive you into thinking and seeing details differently.
This optical illusion masterpiece is called “The Girl Reading Salvador Dali”, created by Oleg Shuplyak, a Ukrainian artist who is popular for his mind-bending paintings.
For this test, try not to think deeply about it and just remember the first image you noticed. Your answer will tell you more about yourself.
A Man’s Face (Salvador Dali)
If you saw a man’s face first, it means that your greatest strength is being objective even in the toughest situations. You can keep yourself together and that helps you make a fair decision for everyone.
However, your being objective is also what keeps you from freely expressing yourself, and that is your weakness. People may see you as a distant and unapproachable person because you are used to keeping your emotions to yourself.
A Table
If you noticed the table first, your biggest strength is your capability of listening. You have great communication skills and you let everyone’s voice be heard in a conversation. People like to share their sentiments with you because you are a great listener.
On the other hand, your greatest weakness is immediately taking action on something even if you had not thought about it through. That is because helping people that you listen to is your priority and you will often feel like you need to act at the moment.
A Woman Reading A Book
If you first noticed a woman with an open book on her lap, it means that your greatest strength is your intellect. Your love of learning new things is what makes you an intelligent person. You take every experience as an opportunity for self-improvement.
But even if you love gaining more knowledge, some things still do not interest you. Sometimes, you become careless and lose focus on another aspect of your life. This weakness of not being able to balance everything can mess up your peace of mind if not taken care of.
