The image shared by The Minds Journal shows five faces, and which ones you see first will say a lot about you.
THE ELDERLY COUPLE
If you noticed the elderly couple first, you tend to focus on the grand scheme of things.
You don’t get mired in nonessential details and are naturally able to take a bird’s eye point of view of things.
This perspective makes you a great strategist and a natural-born leader.
You would be successful in managerial roles, as you are goal-oriented and have excellent planning skills.
You are also likely to be comfortable delegating and not feel the need to micromanage.
All of these innate traits will make you the ideal boss.
THE MUSICIAN AND THEIR AUDIENCE
If instead of the couple you spotted the three smaller people first, your attention to detail is unparalleled.
Hidden within the two faces of the elderly couple is one person playing a guitar and another sitting beside him holding their hat.
A third woman watches the musician from a doorway in the background behind the guitar player.
If those aspects of the image are what you noticed first, you are very observant and capable of paying close attention to others and your surroundings.
You notice nuances others may miss and not even the most minute detail gets past you.
You prefer thoroughly knowing things in-depth, rather than superficially.
You are also great at meticulously planning things out so that nothing falls through the cracks.
