Inspired by a personality quiz from WakeUpYourMind, explanations for each aspect of the picture are shared in full below. Expect some serious head nodding, perhaps a little head scratching, and a lot of home truths! So, what are you waiting for? Take a comfy seat, gaze at the picture, pick your element, and read on.

1. You see lips

This first character synopsis may come as a surprise, but if lips were the first thing you saw, then the likelihood is that you do not like to rock the boat. “Loose lips sink ships,” the old wartime adage goes, but far from being a gossip, you prefer a quiet life. You have the tendency to swing between natural introversion and a real love of good company.

You might be a bit of a homebody and prefer to stay in one place rather than move around to seek your fulfillment. Despite this, you are a flexible sort, warm, and open-minded. Your friends and family may even say you “go with the flow.”

Your good intentions can render you occasionally naive, but you are wonderfully self-sufficient and capable of complex problem solving on your own. People trust you and will often come to you for your stellar advice. According to Psychology Today, the lips are an “invaluable” communication tool for emotionally intuitive people.

2. You see trees

If you saw the trees or, more specifically, their sturdy trunks above anything else, then you are quite the extrovert. However, you value your social graces and will always be polite and affable in large groups. Astrologically, tree trunks and branches symbolize strength and strong ties to family and home.

You are a sensitive soul at heart and are deeply concerned with other people’s happiness. Taken to the extreme, however, you can become overly concerned about what your friends, peers, and co-workers think of you. But much like the mighty tree trunk, you are strong and steadfast when it counts.

It can take quite a lot for a person to win your trust. You are socially gregarious but keep your truest self private and are only willing to open up to a chosen few. You have your eyes on the prize, however, and will often find yourself achieving success and getting what you want, but not at the expense of other people.

3. You see roots

If you noticed roots, then you are humble, often shy, and certainly on the introverted side of the spectrum. You have a particular aptitude for accepting constructive criticism and are always working hard to better yourself. Others take inspiration from this.

Owing to your humility, people have a tendency to underestimate you. This can work in your favor; you will have numerous opportunities to impress people with your competence, skills, and the talents they never knew you had.

You are no stranger to hard work and thrive when you have a project on which to focus your attention. You also have a strong moral compass and know how you want to live your life. While you cherish the input of your close friends and family, you are at heart an independent person and will always march to the beat of your own drum.

Tree roots symbolize reliability on the one hand and stubbornness and immovability on the other. It’s up to you to keep an eye on the balance!
