When you look at something new, both your eye and your mind are attracted to certain things. You may see, feel or think certain things, all depending on what you subconsciously look for even before you've seen an image. In this personality test, we're going to see if we can find out what you look for with your mind and eye when you look upon an image. For this to work, please take a fast look at the images shown and try to catch yourself in the act - what was your first thought, what drew your eye - and what did you feel?

Beauty and Symmetry
When you look at a new image, photo, painting or just looking at a scene, your eyes, and mind, are drawn to what you see as beauty. Your eye looks for strong colors and their contrasts. You find great satisfaction in this kind of color symmetry.
<br><br>
The other thing that attracts your attention is symmetry of shape. You first see circles and then groups, symmetrical lines before the objects they contain. In this way your mind grabs the most striking visuals and chooses to process them first (in nanoseconds) and then go and search for the bigger meaning in the image.
The Odd
You like patterns - so you can break them. You like clean lines - so you can add something in contrast to them. In other words, your eye, and mind, always look for the unusual thing in an image, a scene, a photograph or a painting.
<br><br>
Your mind loves the breaking of patterns, the one rule breaker that proves the rule. You enjoy visuals where there is only one thing a bit wrong to break the otherwise normal image. In life, you may do the same, paying attention to the different, the odd or the underdog.
The Big Picture
You're a big picture person. Your mind focuses on deciphering the MEANING or GOAL of the image first, before processing the smaller details a few nanoseconds later. In other words, you tend to seek with your eye and mind in tandem, creating a holistic meaning.
<br><br>
For you, a painting being colorful registers second, while the meaning in the image or the fact that it is an image of a certain type or of a certain scene - these thoughts and feelings come first. In life, it could be you do the same, looking for the meaning behind events before thinking about the individual details that occurred.
Emotional Details
When looking at a new image, photograph, painting or even real-life scene, your brain chooses to process information that is either emotional for you or links to you on some personal level. So, for example, you may notice the emotional tone of a situation before realizing the bigger picture or the smaller details that are also a part of the story behind the image.
<br><br>
You are probably a sensitive person, who is very socially aware and has a high level of emotional intelligence. Your mind seems to seek out emotions and personal significance when looking at things, and it asks your eye to do the same.
