An image with multiple hidden animals is constantly circulating on social media, accompanied by the phrase: “Don’t cheat. The first animal you see will reveal your worst flaw.” It’s an illustration that, at first glance, looks like the outline of a human face, but hides several superimposed animal figures. This type of visual test has become very popular, as it sparks curiosity and debate about whether they can truly reflect personality traits of the person viewing them.

Below, we’ll explain how this challenge works, which animals typically appear in the illustration, and what supposed “weakness” or flaw is associated with them. Of course, keep in mind that these results have no scientific basis and should be viewed with humor and a playful spirit.
