A unique sunset optical illusion claims to be able to prove if you are more of an optimist or a pessimist when it comes to the people in your life.

The colourful personality test asks viewers to quickly glance at the photo to see whether they spot a pair of red lips or clouds in the sky first.

Depending on their first find, the brainteaser claims to decipher whether you are a sceptical person who is weary of others or someone who believes in “the goodness of humanity.”

The peculiar illusion was presented on an online video by the optical illusion specialist Mia Yilin, the Express reports.

The Tiktoker's popularity has exploded on the social media platform thanks to her mind-boggling personality tests which users claim have been able to accurately predict their own unique personalities.

In Mia's comment section, one shocked user wrote: “Thank you, you’ve taught me so much about myself” while someone else commented: “Why is she always on point?! This was amazing.”

Clouds

People who first saw clouds in the middle of the sunset are said to be highly sceptical of strangers but are very generous and helpful to their loved ones.

They are always weary of getting close to people they don't know and don't tend to easily let their guard down.

Mia explains: “You have very strong social skills. You can get along with anyone but you’re also rather cynical at heart. Even though you might seem friendly, you actually find it very difficult to trust others.

“When people make an effort to approach you, you’re always trying to figure out their motive and end goal.”

They are very logical people and are excellent at reading people who do not get involved with gossip or petty drama.

Despite having quite a pessimistic outlook on life, they still have a very relaxed and happy social life and do well to keep mean-spirited people out of their lives.

Lips

Those who saw the pair of red lips first are known to be kind-hearted individuals who go above and beyond for others.

They would always take the time to help a stranger in need and are adored by those around them for their compassionate nature.

Mia explained: “Your loving and cheerful personality is like a breath of fresh air and you can get sentimental rather easily. Even though you know the world can be cruel, you still choose to believe in the goodness of humanity.”

Their bright outlook on life means they can be deeply hurt and highly sensitive whenever conflict with their loved ones arises but they are able to let the little things go.

However, just because they are optimistic does not necessarily mean they are easily led astray, and they will always push back on anyone being cruel to others.

Mia added: “You might be willing to tolerate others over small things, but when it comes to major conflicts of interest you’re very principled and will always stand your ground.”
