To take the test, look at the above image carefully and notice what you see first. You'll either see a cat walking up the stairs, or walking down the stairs. Notice how you perceived the optical illusion at first glance, and read on to know what it means:
1. If you saw the cat walking down the stairs...
Then it means that you are way too cautious in life. You have faced many challenges and difficult situations in life, and so you are a bit sceptical about life. Instead of trusting people or situations blindly, you prefer to be attentive to your inner voice and listen to your intuition. Moreover, you have an eye for detail in every task you do. In your personal life, you value creating and maintaining deep connections with people close to you.
2. If you saw the cat walking up the stairs...
On the contrary, if you noticed the cat walking upstairs it shows that you have a positive attitude towards life. You too have faced difficulties in life, but instead of getting bogged down by the negative experiences of life you choose to learn from your mistakes and move on in life for the better. You are also ambitious-- be it in your professional or personal life-- and you have a growth-mindset.

This particular optical illusion psychology test can greatly influence your career journey. It shows that people who are optimistic can easily take up new challenges and grow in their career. Meanwhile, those who are too cautious are good at planning and performing tasks with great perfection.
