What You See is Who You Are

Psychologists often show you random images and ask you what you see. Your imagination immediately runs wild and you may see either an animal or just random colours or images. While you may not be able to see any correlation in your thoughts and the images you see, psychologists claim that your response reveals a lot about your personality.

A New Trend

The Internet and WhatsApp is now full of forwards that seemingly show you line images and you are asked what comes to your mind when you first see these images. One might see a young woman in the same image, while another may see a wrinkled old man. Then, these pundits give you an explanation of what it reveals about your personality.

Can You Spot the Hidden Animals?

In one image doing the rounds of the internet these days, you see a line drawing of trees and branches. Hidden between this image are a series of animals and you are asked to identify the first animal you see. That animal has certain qualities and psychologists say that this reveals exactly the kind of person you are.

Choose Your Destiny

In the image below, once your eyes have got used to the image, you will plainly see a 1) hog, 2) a lion, 3) an elephant, 4) a giraffe, 5) a horse, and some more animals. I have encircled a few of the ones I have mentioned for you. Did you know that depending on the animal you identified first, your personality stands revealed?

What Did You See First?

Did you see the elephant first? It means that you are by nature, a very “vigilant” person. It means that you are aware of all that is happening around you. If you saw the hog first, it means you are “honest and true to yourself”. If it is the giraffe you saw first, it means you are humble, harmless and capable of high thinking. These are just a few examples.

Choose the Cat

A website shows the above Choose the Cat personality test. Believe it or not, but it is an experimental psychological test that aims to measure the general personality traits of a person.

Psychological Tests and Their Creators

There is the 16PF, short for the 16-factor Personality Model questionnaire that is greatly respected and the result of decades of work and analysis by Raymond B. Cattell, a British psychologist who is said to have designed the best personality and intelligence tests. Then, of course, there is Sigmund Freud. His work is well-known to all.

More on Optical Illusions

These are often described as both tricky yet entertaining. Several tests are being forwarded on social media, and instinctively, people take out time to do them. For instance, optical illusion tests claim to decipher truths about you and it is all dependent on what you saw first.

Personality Tests for Prospective Candidates

Personality tests check out various aspects of your personality and as blog.hubspot.com says, “uncover layers you perhaps hadn't recognized about yourself before.” Personality tests are now given by employers to prospective candidates and their answers tabulated by psychologists to reveal the personality of the person you are hiring. How effective this has really been, though, is still unknown.

Conclusion

According to an article in The New Yorker, “Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers invented the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, the most popular personality test in the world. More than two million people take it every year. It is used in twenty-six countries to assess employees, students, soldiers, and potential marriage partners.” Maybe we too should stick to this tried-and-tested format rather than put our faith in these other off-beat animal kind of personality tests.
