'Disturbing' optical illusion reveals the deepest secrets of your personality

This clever but simple drawing from Playbuzz will show either a young girl or the face of an elderly moustached man depending on who's looking at it

Many of the optical illusions doing the rounds on social media are as a way of having fun while testing your brain power.

But some have been developed to delve a little deeper into your psyche, and to identify your personality type. This incredibly simple image has gone viral on social media as users test exactly what it says about them. What do you see? Playbuzz user TeacherQuizzes explains that if you initially see the back of a young girl's head, you are "optimistic and beaming with positive energy".

You will also be naturally curious, generous and motivated to take part in new experiences. The downsides to seeing the girl is that you tend to be impulsive. Those who see the girl should ask for help from others more, which will help you "develop and grow into a better person with the multiple feedback, advice and support from people around you".

There are also several positive qualities for those who first saw the face of a moustached man, namely being "calm, honest and faithful". They are also "very trustworthy, reliable and dependable". Unlike the other personality type, they are goal-oriented and don't make decisions based on impulse.

Playbuzz says: "Once you set a goal, you plan the steps thoroughly and carefully, and slowly achieve them one by one. This gift keeps you away from making impulsive decisions." The quiz adds: "From time to time, let go of things and loosen up! The sweet freedom will help you relax and heal your mind and body."
