2. The skull
If you saw the skull first when you looked at the image, don’t panic! While we tend to associate skulls with death, the paranormal, or something vaguely sinister, fret not. The symbolism regarding your character traits couldn’t be more positive, as the skull is a sign that your greatest strength is your intellectual prowess, you smarty pants, you. For years skulls have been used in art and literature to represent the power of the mind, and that’s true here as well. There is no situation you can’t handle with the power of your mind. Of course, this doesn’t mean you’re necessarily a straight-A student type. Intellect is about far more than book learning and memorizing facts. Overall, your capacity for deep, considered thought is one of the biggest strengths you possess.

3. The scenery
If you saw the scenery first when you looked at this image, you’re in rarefied company. When you look closely, you’ll see that the scenery in question is the entry point into misty, darkened woods. While this may seem foreboding, you have nothing here to fear. When the scenery catches your eye before anything else, it means that greatest personal strength is your ability to trust your instincts. You thrive in environments and situations where most people would panic. Lost in the woods? You don’t need to borrow anyone’s breadcrumbs. Follow your gut and you’ll find the path that works for you. When you feel directionless, confused, or frustrated at times, remember that your instincts are solid. You’re the type of person who can always rely on what your spirit know in order to make the right decisions at the right times.
