While trying to solve the riddle, you may experience something known as the Gestalt Switch
Even though you may have seen this sketch a number of times, the picture asking you to find out the number of animals and their types can reveal a lot about your personality. This is a Victorian-era illustration that has received an iconic illusion status over the years since it holds your imagination over the kind of animals you see, revealing deep secrets about who you are as a person.
What is the illustration all about?
According to experts, while trying to solve the riddle, you may experience something known as the Gestalt switch—a process whereby your perception shifts as one figure appears to be another. In this particular picture, you may clearly see two animals—a rabbit and a duck.
What happens if you first notice the rabbit?
For those who immediately recognised a rabbit in this optical illusion, you are touted to be the wittiest person in your group. Since these animals are vigilant, fast, and always on the move, mirroring your strong personality makes you a quick thinker, highly observant, and one with a fast-processing mind. This also makes you a logical and practical person who does not get engaged much in drama and overtly emotional theatrics.
All of these qualities make you highly likeable and a popular and practical person who believes in seizing and living in the moment.
What if you see a duck first?
Ducks are usually extremely calm on the surface, but underneath the water, they are always paddling frantically to float. And so, noticing the duck means you have a few traits similar to the bird. While having a calm and composed demeanour on the outside, you think a lot—to the point of being vigorous. While being a deep thinker has its positives, your mind is always working. According to psychologists, it means that a profound storm is always raging inside your head, and you only speak up once you have thought something through.
How does this optical illusion exercise your brain?
While it may not need a lot of concentration to figure out the animals in this picture, apart from the much-needed daily exercise for your brain, it also is a way to know your personality better.
While spot-the-difference can be all fun—it helps strengthen your brainpower and health and prevents cognitive decline. This kind of optical illusion puzzle helps improve memory and general mental abilities. Daily practice also enhances attention span and enables easier focus on activities in everyday life.
According to experts, it is also an easy and efficient method to maintain the sharpness of mind.
