Although optical illusions can make you feel as though your brain is tricking you, they can also reveal a deep truth. Optical illusions can fool or confuse our brains by using colour, light, and patterns to generate visuals.

They occur because our brain is trying to interpret what we see and make sense of the world around us. Optical illusions simply trick our brains into seeing things which may or may not be real. There is one that has recently gone viral online - and it's meant to determine whether 'strong-willed and stubborn' or 'caring and likeable'. So, let's see what you see when you look at the image.

The picture was shared by TikTok creator Mia Yilin, who boasts more than 450,000 followers on the video-sharing app. Mia has become popular on social media for the intriguing optical illusions that she shares with her hundreds of thousands of followers.

This optical illusion can show if you're someone who is incredibly determined and succeeds at anything you set your mind to, or if you detest mind tricks and distance yourself from people. The image depicts both a set of forks and a wine glass, and Mia said that what you see first offers a telling sign about your personality.

"If you first saw the two forks, then you're a very stubborn and strong-willed person," she said. "Once you put your mind to something you don't look back. You love your freedom and are also quite romantic, but you'd never hold anyone back in the name of love."

Then she went on to explain what it meant if you saw the wine glass first. "If you first saw the wine glass, then people constantly want to get close to you because of how caring and likeable you are," she revealed. However, Mia added that if you saw the wine glass first, you also tend to be extremely picky. She continued: "You're very selective with your inner circle and not anyone can get in. "You hate people who play mind games and prefer to silently distance yourself over exposing them directing."

People rushed to the comments to praise Mia for her accuracy. "I don't know the science behind this but you are always accurate. I never saw the folk until you mentioned it. Keep it up, dear," one person wrote. "This is probably the best one yet and possibly most relatable saw the forks first btw," said another. A third person added: "Fork. Wow, this is super accurate."
