Then she goes on to explain how what you saw determines your personality and your characteristic traits.
What’s the First Thing You See in This Picture?
Last week, Mia Yilin posted this photo on Instagram and explained, “If the first thing you saw were the faces of the man and woman, then you are probably the most logical of those around you. You’re a kind person and have strict morals, but you don’t like to be blindly led by the heart.”

She continued, “If the first thing you saw was the apple core, then you are very emotionally sensitive. This does not mean that you are unstable and always upset… It implies that you are very good at reading hidden signals and always know the right thing to say in social settings.”
