An unusual optical illusion reveals your greatest fears, but it all depends on what you see in the photo first

THERE are many different types of optical illusions: some can distort the world around you and others can reveal intimate information about yourself.

These clever images might reveal your worst fears, but it all depends on what you see first.

The Illusion Test, which was originally shared by Times nowis making the rounds on social media, and people can't ignore the accurate revelations.

The first image shows two possible things – and what you see will reveal your deepest fears.

If you saw the rodent

So if you see a rodent, it may mean that your deepest fear is being too dependent on other people.

You simply love your independent life, but sometimes have a tendency to take it too far.

Not only that, but anyone who ridicules or humiliates you is something you will likely avoid.

You don't want people to think you're incapable, so do everything you can current to appear self-reliant.

However, this need for control can also be a bad thing, even if it means you are a responsible person.

If you saw the man

If you see the side profile of a man in the optical illusion You probably fear isolation and can't stand being in your own company for long periods of time.

Unlike the first group, you love being around people and constantly crave human interaction.

Although you could be alone if you really wanted to, you never give yourself the chance to experience loneliness because you are always looking for the next one big event.

When it comes down to it, your biggest fear is being left alone, so you find yourself clinging to every interaction because your fear might be your last.

The same optical illusion test was also shared on social media, and it's safe to say people were just as amazed at how accurate it seemed to be.

One commented on the clip, which was shared by @psychologielove100“Sir, why are you always so precise?”

A second wrote: “I am! I always tell my daughters to let me do everything on my own. It's not because I don't like help, it just means I'm healthy and happy.”

Fancy another optical illusion?

This can reveal a person's hidden personality traits, all depending on which animal they see first.

Just look at the image below and the animal you see first will reveal all.

There are two different animals in this image

If you've seen the black cat, your personality probably isn't that different from the animal.

You love your own company, but can still be playful and curious when the time is right.

You are eager to learn and enjoy taking on new challenges, as long as you can be left alone to work them out.

However, if you saw the mouse first, you are obviously a more cautious person.

Shyness is your main personality trait, but you can also be very self-conscious.

You are very good at observing the world around you, which makes you incredibly resourceful and good at reading people.

What are optical illusions and how do they work?

Optical illusion is images or videos created to distort your sense of reality, making you think you are seeing something when in reality it is something completely different.

How do they work?

When you look at things, your brain sends all the information to your brain, but if there are gaps in that information, your brain will fill in the gaps.

This means your brain can fool you into thinking you're seeing something when it's not really there.

Humans have evolved to be able to do this because survival depends on responding quickly. So your brain will automatically try to work things out with all the information it can get, no matter how small.
