Optical illusion personality tests have become quite popular among people on social media. These are psychology-based images that can help one understand themselves better. How? Well, these are weird-looking images and based on what a person sees first, it can reveal their thought process and innermost views.

This particular image was initially shared by the Bright Side and it claims to reveal if a person has an optimistic or pessimistic view of life. In the image, there's a person sitting on a horse. Depending on whether you interpret the horse moving forward or backward can give a reflection of your thoughts.

To take this test, simply look at the image above and notice what caught your attention at first glance. Now read its interpretation below:

1. If you notice the horse walking forward
Then it means that you have a positive mindset in life. You are optimistic and are always open to new opportunities in life. This growth-mindset helps you change and grow as a person, instead of dwelling on past mistakes and bad experiences.

2. If you notice the horse walking backward
On the contrary, if you think that the horse is walking backwards then it suggests that you have a pessimistic viewpoint in life. You often think about the past and are nostalgic about old memories. This doesn't always mean that you are stuck in the past. But it could reflect that you are thoughtful as a person. Thinking about the past also helps you learn from your experiences.
