Anyone can see the imposing penguin standing on a blue background.
It is not clear what the penguin is doing, but it has a black dot in the middle of its belly.
But what is also shown in this complex illusion is a man – what do you see first?
It might seem a little scary at first, but the key is to examine the waterfowl carefully and you’ll soon spot the head of a man.
In the meantime, why not try some other optical illusions while scrolling?
Test your brainpower and solve the questions in this test to find out if you have a high IQ.
Or see if you have the eyes of a predator and spot a sneaky animal hidden within a carefully sketched image.
The arctic bird is certainly easier to spot, but if you tilt your head a little to the right, you’ll see a man who looks a lot like Elvis Presley.
The depression in the penguin’s belly serves as a ridge for a very flat nose.
And the creature’s black head looks like a feather.
You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot a frog hiding in plain sight among rocks in less than 11 seconds
How can optical illusions and brain teasers help me?
ENGAGING in activities like solving optical illusions and brain teasers can have many cognitive benefits because they can stimulate different regions of the brain.
Some benefits include:
- Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
- Problem Solving Skills: Regular practice improves analytical thinking and problem solving skills.
- Memory Enhancement: These challenges often require recall and can contribute to better memory functioning.
- Creativity: they encourage thinking outside the box, encourage creativity and innovative thought processes.
- Focus and attention: working on optical illusions and brain teasers requires concentration, which contributes to improved focus.
- Stress Relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.
And according to ZenBuisness, “These visual puzzles can provide you with good mental exercise, which in turn can help you think more effectively and solve problems more easily.”
If you spot a penguin for the first time, you are super sharp with keen intuition and a high level of emotional intelligence.
You probably also have a good amount of wisdom and believe strongly in patience.
But if the first thing you noticed was a man who looks like a legendary rock and roll singer, you might be less gullible and easier to please.
While you’re less likely to rely on your gut, you’re also more innovative and have a knack for solving problems.
Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.
Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a good workout and can “boost your brain activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia”.
