Scientists and artists rarely see eye to eye, but one thing they both agree on is the usefulness of images. Indeed, it’s hard to disagree that pictures can offer a good doorway into a person’s soul and mind.
On this note, here is a quick test invented by an Israeli illustrator Noma Bar. Look at the image and answer the following question:
What was the first thing you saw: a girl wearing red lipstick, a chicken or a man with a large nose?
1. A chicken.
If the chicken was the first thing you noticed in this image, you are someone who pays attention to small detail. This keeps you from finishing the things you start: you always find a tiny problem and give it disproportionate attention. You will not rest until you have polished the thing you are working on to perfection, which happens rarely. You are probably good at exact sciences.
2. A girl.
If the first thing you saw was the profile of a girl, this means you are a determined and confident person. You are programmed to be a maximalist and you won’t settle for half-measures. However, you often lack the patience to realize your program, losing interest and switching from one task to another far too quickly. You prefer humanities to the strict rules of exact sciences.
3. A man’s profile.
Not a lot of people can see a third image in this picture, but it is indeed there. If you turn the image upside down, you will see the profile of a man with a large nose and a mustache.
If this was the first thing you saw, you have a unique mind! You are able to notice things others don’t see.
If you saw two of the above things simultaneously, this means you have great analytical skills. Your brain processes information at an impressive speed. You possess the best features of all the described types!
