​What do you see first in this picture?

Optical illusions are known to trick our mind and help our brain to cheat our eyes. What we see in an illusion is not what actually is. In an illusion the eyes are not able to capture what is actually represented in the image.

Many psychologists use optical illusion to test the personality and inner traits of an individual. Illusions show how your brain depends on perception instead of visual sense.

There are four elements hidden in this picture.

What a person sees first greatly differs and as per psychologists it reveals the personality of an individual to a large extent.

The nature of the element will determine the trait of the individual. What the brain perceives is what makes us see and that's what drives our personality.

Tree

Many people will see a tree first. This is the biggest element in the image. Many reports say people who see the tree first are more reasonable and logical in their approach. These people have a positive mindset.

As a warning, they need to curb their realistic side.

3/6

​Gorilla

Many people would not notice it at first glance, but if you have then there are certain distinct qualities that set you apart from the rest.

Experts have said people who see the gorilla first are very critical in nature. These people hate wasting time and always keep themselves busy.

There is a chance that these people may not be identified by others easily due to their highly intelligent side.

4/6

​Lion

Did you see the lion first before anything else? Even before the tree?

You follow your dreams like no one else! Experts say people who notice the lion have a wild side to their nature which makes them different from others in terms of sensibility. These highly determined people work hard without any doubt.

A drawback to their nature is that they go way ahead to chase their dreams.

5/6

Fish

If the jumping fish has caught your eyes, then there you are a rare piece of gem.

Due to the location of the fish in the image and their small size many people tend to miss this element in the picture.

Reports say those who see fish at first glance are very careful about the relationships they hold on to and never like being hated.
