Viewers have been left stunned after an expert claimed her popular optical illusion can reveal a person's entire outlook on life.

People are asked to take a quick glance over the odd picture at the top of this page. You should see either a horse or a frog, with each of them representing a vastly different set of character traits.

Whichever you see reveals whether you're more optimistic or pessimistic about what lies in store. The optical illusion is a type of psychological test created by brainteaser enthusiast Mia Yilin. She recently went viral on social media thanks to her analysis of personality traits.

Social media users were impressed by the accuracy of the puzzle, with one writing: “Why was this accurate?!”. Another said: “She is always right…it’s a little scary how much this woman knows me.”

Those who saw the horse have a more positive outlook on the future

If you're among the people who saw the horse, you're appreciated for your optimism and your kind-hearted nature. Peopl see you as naturally bubbly and self-assured, knowing that your efforts will soon pay off.

Mia said: “You are about to reach new heights in your career and relationships. Good things are naturally attracted to you because of the wonderful energy you radiate. Everything you have been manifesting is going to show up for you.”

Frog

Those who saw the frog are in the less positive club. Though you are highly intelligent and ambitious - this is what has left you stuck in the past. At heart, you are a pessimist - which leads you to overthink situations in your past and to become anxious about the future. While there are a few negatives, people around you appreciate your cautious and logical approach to life.

Mia said: “Lately you’ve been struggling to maintain hope and optimism for the future. You continue to be plagued by negative emotions and regrets of the past. You must remember that you have already paid your dues and deserve nothing but the best and brightest future.”

She advised you to open up to the people close to you and to ensure you're not pushing them away. It's also worth setting time to work on your future goals. You will be able to achieve anything you set your mind to.
