A viral TikTok video has captured many’s attention by claiming to be a hint to reveal some kind of insight into one’s personality traits in light of how viewers interpret a specific optical illusion. The account @psychologylove100 has over 356,000 followers, and presents an interesting image in two different ways, three bears or snow-capped mountains. This little visual test is said to be a channel through which it can be ascertained if someone is more logical or intuitive.
Bears vs Mountains Illusion
The video explains that if the viewer sees the three bears first, they will likely have an analytical mind. The voiceover states, “If you’ve seen three bears first, you have an analytical mind. You’re good at analysing facts and figures and have a logical approach. You don’t act on impulse. You prefer a step-by-step approach to things.” From the video, logical thinkers are good at the resolution of problems and not usually rule-breakers. They notice minute details in things that often fall below the radar, and they can provide well-argued evidence to support an argument.
It further elaborates, “When a problem or critical situation is given, you don’t see a problem as a whole, but try and break the problem down into distinct concepts, which makes the situation manageable,” elaborates the voiceover. This sharp attention to detail is seen in how quickly they identify the three grey bears hidden behind the optical illusion.
On the other hand, people who see the picture of snow-covered mountains for the first time are termed intuitive thinkers. The user says, “If you first saw the photo with the three bears, even if you later realise that there are also snow-capped mountains in the photo, you’re an intuitive thinker.” Intuitive people often reach decisions based on their instincts and not necessarily according to rules and sometimes ignore facts. They use their past experiences to make judgments.
This also hits the same point brought by the voiceover: “You are clever enough to make sense of the patterns and styles of a specific context, which makes you do not only process the information that is available but try to think out of the box.” Intuitive thinkers tend to believe their gut even if it contradicts orthodox thinking. For example, they may take a route different from what others suggest them simply because it feels right.
Optical illusions like these are quite fascinating examples of how our brains process visual information. They fall into three broad types: literal, physiological, and cognitive. Literal illusions are rooted in images that, on being seen, actually differ from reality-for example, a mirage in the desert conjuring visions where at no point is there any water present. Physiological illusions are caused due to overstimulation from brightness or movement, like afterimages seen from bright lights. Cognitive illusions occur when our brains misunderstand the visual information by what we perceive to be there.
