Optical illusion personality test: Water fall or bear? What you see first reveals if you are too friendly or too cautious

Optical illusion personality tests are fun and easy tests that claim to reveal a person's innermost thoughts and feelings. These are psychology-based strange images with one or more elements that can appear differently to different people. What a person sees first reveals how they perceive the world around them, such pictures claim.

This particular optical illusion personality test was initially shared by Marina_Neuralink in a video posted on social media. At first glance at the image, a person can either see a water fall or bear. Depending on what catches a person's attention first, a lot can be decoded about their true personality, especially-- if a person is too friendly or too cautious.

To take the test, simply look at the image above and notice what you saw first. Now, read its interpretation below:

1. If you saw a water fall in the image first...

"It means you open-up easily and make new connections quickly. You see yourself as an open person; and your likeness and openness is what attracts others to you. You are also a great listner and give genuinely helpful advice to others," the narrator said in the video.
"The only downside is that people might see you as too positive, to a point that they think you have no problems at all in life. That's because when others come to you with their problems and issues, you are always there to listen and help. But when it comes to your own problems you prefer to handle them alone. While you take pride in your independence, deep down you wish you had someone to lean on and share your struggles with," she added.

2. If you saw a bear or panda first...

"Then you are the opposite of the previous personality. You usually appear sweet and friendly on the outside, but you don't let people easily into your heart. It usually takes a long time for you to trust someone and you have a long time of letting go of past hurts. This is often rooted in traumatic experience; maybe you were hurt or betrayed in the past, and now you keep your distance. But it is not a bad thing as it shows that you have learnt from your past mistakes and now you are more cautious as compared to someone who keeps making the same mistakes," the narrator explained.
