The image was shared by TikTok creator Mia Yilin, who boasts more than 457,000 followers on the social video app, where she has become popular for her in-depth interpretations of different optical illusions.

Posted on October 6, the post has since amassed 15,000 views, over 1500 likes and 20 comments from individuals who can relate to the observations suggested in Mia's personality test.

Titled 'What’s the first thing you see in this picture?', she claims her latest illusion can tell you if you see life through an artistic lens, or if you're particularly capable of bouncing back from misfortune. 

The image both depicts a bird and a vintage record player - with Mia revealing that what you first spot can offer a telling sign about your personality.

In the footage, the content creator revealed what it could mean if you first spotted the bird.

She said: 'If you first saw the bird, then you often see the world through an artistic lens, and find beauty in the smallest of details.

'However, you experience a lot of self doubt and struggle to fully embrace your uniqueness and creativity because of it.'

Mia then shared what it meant if you first spotted the vintage record player, suggesting that once you have made a mistake, you are able to learn from it. 

She said: 'If you first saw the vintage record player, then you are someone who is always able to bounce back from misfortune and learn from your mistakes.

'You have the most amazing ideas, but doubt from other people causes you to be unsure of yourself.'

She adds a spot of advice for either personality type, concluding: 'Make sure to trust your instinct and chase your dreams.'

One person wrote, 'Vintage player,' while another said, 'Record player,' with a third agreeing, 'I saw the record player first.'

Another individual wrote: 'I saw the phonograph record player and this is pretty true about me.' 

A fellow person who resonated with Mia's analysis said: '2nd one and again its true I have had lots of good ideas but people talking them down made me not go through with them sadly.' 

Only one person claimed to have first spotted a bird, while others insisted that they saw both the bird and record player at the same time.

One said, 'I saw both out the same time,' while another wrote, 'I first saw a bird looking at a vintage record player.'
