WHAT your eyes focus on first when looking at this optical illusion image can reveal A LOT about your emotions.
The brain-teasing photo shows a young girl sitting in a field while holding a mirror – but whatever part of the picture people are drawn to can tell us about their emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is the automatic understanding and awareness of other people and their feelings.
It’s having empathy for other people, being able to share your feelings, having listening skills and knowing how to react to others’ emotions, among many other things.
Here we have a look at what the first thing in the image, shot by photographer Laura Williams, that catches your eye means…
If your eyes immediately dart towards the grass it means in general that you aren’t generally that emotional intelligent.
You’re the kind of person who cares deeply about the people in their lives – but is too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole.
However, you’re never afraid to ask for help from those around you when you need it and are first to apologize when you’ve potentially hurt someone else’s feelings.
If you are drawn towards the girl first it means you are very emotionally intelligent – but have problems with putting others before yourself.
Other people rely on your sharp emotional intelligence and will ask for your help to sort out their own issues.
However, people who fall into this category tend to become exhausted and depleted over time if their skills are overused.
If the mirror is the first thing your eyes focus on, this means you have amazing emotional intelligence.
However, there is one major problem – you tend to make all of your insights about yourself.
People who fall into this category are very good at noticing others’ emotions – but assume it has something to do with themselves.
For example, you may notice someone is sad – and immediately jump to the conclusion that you have done something wrong.
This means that you’re great at reading emotions – but it takes a little work for you to figure out their source.
