The article discusses the rising trend of personality quizzes using ambiguous images, where the initial perception of the image suggests specific personality traits. Despite their popularity, a recent study in the journal PeerJ dismisses these quizzes as lacking scientific validity, labeling them as psychological myths. However, the authors did find some significant correlations that could be useful for further research. The fascination with such images can be traced back to examples like the rabbit-duck illusion, noted for revealing different perceptual perspectives and prompting investigations into their sociological and psychological implications.
"According to a paper published in the journal PeerJ, these kinds of personality quizzes are a new kind of psychological myth, lacking scientific validation but inspiring intriguing correlations worth exploring."
"These ambiguous images exploit peculiarities of the human visual system, leading to multistable perception, which has spurred interest in their links to psychological traits and behaviors."
