Optical illusion personality tests have become quite popular among people these days. The reason: These are psychology-based, weird-looking images, with one or more elements in them. Based on what a person notices first, a lot can be decoded about their lesser-known personality traits.

This particular image, which was initially shared by the Bright Side, has two main elements: a whale, and a surfer. At first glance, whatever catches your attention first can reveal your innermost thoughts and feelings.

To take the test, simply look at the above image and notice what you saw first. Now read its interpretation below:

1. If you saw a whale first, then it means...

"If you saw a whale, you mostly see the big picture and are pretty happy with your life," the narrator tells in the video. This also indicates that you are a bit carefree in life.

2. If you saw a surfer first, then it means...

On the contrary, if you first notice the surfer at the bottom right corner of the image then it means that you are quite observant and cautious in life. "If you also see the little surfer on the whale, then you don't look for the easy road in life. You always double-check everything," the narrator further said.
