An optical illusion can reveal whether you tend to be overly critical of yourself.

Optical illusions are fascinating because they offer insights into our subconscious processes, and Mia Yillin’s TikTok post is no exception. With over 972,000 views, her illusion-based personality assessment garnered attention.

In this illusion, viewers are presented with two images: a black crow perched on a rock and a man’s face made of stacked stones. According to Mia, the image that captures your attention first can reveal insights into your personality.

If you noticed the crow first, Mia suggests that you may have a tendency to pass judgments. While this may initially seem negative, Mia emphasizes that having strong opinions about others can stem from intuition, often proving to be accurate.

On the other hand, if you saw the face first, it may indicate that you are highly self-critical. Mia explains that this self-criticism may be a defense mechanism against perceived rejection or dislike from others. She advises those who saw the face to overcome these self-defeating thoughts to achieve their goals.

The response to Mia’s post was overwhelmingly positive, with viewers praising the accuracy of her assessment. Many found the insights provided by the illusion to be both surprising and thought-provoking.
