The first thing you see in this optical illusion reveals key personality trait

An optical illusion is said to reveal a key part of your personality, and it's all based on the first thing you see.

The illusion is a series of black lines and marks on a background which some people interpret as a face with a wide-set jaw and long nose, and others see as a dark-haired woman sitting.

The YouTube channel, BRIGHT SIDE, shared the optical illusion in a video and explained that depending on what viewers are seeing may say something about their personality.

Other optical illusions use similar vague lines to determine a person's mental age or how confident you are.

People who see the dark-haired woman are said to have "sharp observational skills and an eye for detail" and are typically a "reserved and introverted person" who gets tired when they're around too many people.

People who see the face with a wide-set jaw are said to "tend to neglect detail and go for the big picture" they also are usually extroverted and enjoy chatting with other people.
