Optical illusion reveals whether you’re an introvert or extrovert

TikTok has a bad reputation with some sections of society that it is just for useless fun. However, that is not the case at all. The social media platform also has very informative content creators like Mia Yillin. She dedicated her account to sharing interesting personality tests and brain teasers. The account has over 450,000 followers which goes to show just how many people find the tests valuable! Mia recently posted a test that can determine if you are an introvert or extrovert.

According to Mia, if you have been wondering whether you have a natural talent for making small talk, then this image will give you the clue. Her clip showed a picture of two animals merged together. The important thing is to observe which of the animals you notice first. Depending on the answer, you may get to know a fascinating detail about your platonic relationships and personality.

Are You An Introvert Or Extrovert?

To find out, whether you are an introvert or extrovert take a look at this image:

Scroll down to see it via Mia’s clip as well, if this is too low quality. However, have you recognized the first animal? The two animals in the image are a zebra and a lion if you have missed out on either of them. Regardless, here are the explanations to find out if you are an introvert or extrovert, according to Mia:

The Lion: If you saw the lion first then, Mia explains, you enjoy your alone time. You may be a person who does not hate spending time with friends when push comes to shove. However, at your core, you prefer to be introverted and treasure the time you spend by yourself. As such, only in extremely rare cases do you ever shout or get agitated with others, because you know that volume does not help solve the problem.

The Zebra: In case you have seen the two zebras first then, according to Mia, you have a natural skill when it comes to forming friendships and engaging in casual conversation. Your intuition is somehow always correct on what the people around want to hear. This gives you a kind of power over them. However, you do not usually reveal your deeper problems. For these, you usually either keep them close by yourself or only tell the closest friends and family.

TikTok’s Reaction

As with every other personality test out there, this one is not 100% assured to be correct either. However, the comments on her post were mostly about affirming her observations and how shocked they were about it. One wrote: “How exactly do you manage to be spot on when it comes to me?
