What does all this even MEAN???
Apparently, what you see actually says a lot about you. The Sun spoke to Lee Chambers, an Environmental Psychologist and Wellbeing Consultant, who revealed what your answer says about your personality. He said: “Where your eyes first focus on the picture certainly plays a part in the perception of your , but your current psychological state can also play a role in whether you see a dog approaching or a human escaping.
“If you are currently anxious, you are much more likely to see the man escaping, seeing the in a more threatening viewpoint. This will also be more likely if you are more pessimistic or less easy to trust others, seeing something moving away rather than approaching, or a human possibly acting in a sinister manner.”
He said that if you see the dog in the illusion you are currently in a “place of calm confidence”, adding: “If you’re are an optimistic individual, you are more likely to see something coming into your life and see the dog and embrace the snowy vista surrounding it.”
Sure, you can figure out their Myers-Briggs personality type, you can read career advice until youre blue in the face, or you can do whatever Seth Godin tells you to do.
Rather than trying to figure out who wants what, what that thing they said yesterday really meant, how youre supposed to respond to this memo, its easier to objectify those with whom you spend intimate working hours by thinking of them as something other than human.
The right pack for you isnt always obvious. You may be happier with a pack of dogs of different breeds, stimulating your desire to work productively within a diverse team. Realize youre a Bullmastiff among Poodles, and you may find that senior Poodles are never going to promote you. Or perhaps youre actually a cat, in which case youll either need to learn how to get along with dogs, or find a place where cats work.
Knowing your breed and its tendencies can give you insight into what makes you happiest and most productive at work. Working dogs start eating the furniture if they cant do their jobs. If youre a working dog whos not being challenged, you may want to find a new career path that lets you work so you dont go nuts.
For example, if your boss is a German Shepherd, you know youve got a smart, hard-working dog on your hands thats aggressive and confident. That said, youve got a team member whos a Cocker Spaniel, and therefore thrives on positive reinforcement and works well with others. To treat your Shepherd the same way you treat your Spaniel would be stupid. Plus, you may want to run interference between the two. Who knows what would happen if you left those two in a room together.
Optical illusions happen when what the eyes are seeing doesnt get comprehended by the brain in a manner thats consistent with reality. Our brains are programmed to quickly recognize and identify things, whatever it may be, and years of evolution has trained our brain to minimize that recognition time down to as little as possible.
When you look at the for the first time — even at the thumbnail of this story — youll think youre seeing what looks like a man walking away from you in the snowy forest, and frankly thats what everyone will perceive.
Twitter // Is it a man or poodle dog?
This is why people see a man in the picture, where none exist but only a black poodle dog — the brain is tricked because it tries to register the outline of a man and jump to the conclusion that our eyes are in fact seeing a man.
Optical illusions are fun way to examine the disconnect between our eyes and brain. Take for example this picture below, which has gone viral on Twitter, because people cant figure out if its a man walking in the woods or a dog running towards you…

One thing Ive noticed over the years is that men are as if not more preoccupied with workplace dynamics than women.
Still, figuring out who wants what and how to give them that at work isnt always obvious.
Sure, you can figure out their Myers-Briggs personality type, you can read career advice until youre blue in the face, or you can do whatever Seth Godin tells you to do.
Do you work with a crazed den of Poodles? Is everyone at your startup a mutt? Is your boss a German Shepherd but your team composed of a Chihuahua, a Greyhound, a Shih Tzu, a Border Collie, and a Golden Retriever?

What breed of dog are you? Knowing this can help you more objectively figure out how you relate to the rest of the work pack.
Are you a Cane Corso or a Jack Russell Terrier? A Bichon Frise or a Labrador Retriever? A Dalmatian or a Pug?
In all likelihood, your first guess is the correct guess. Although, you should make sure you pick the dog you are, not the dog you want to be.
