Every individual has a different thought process, primarily because our brains function differently.

The image shared above is an optical illusion picture that can reveal if you have a male brain or a female brain depending on how you interpret the image at first glance.

Do you see a man running away from you, or towards you?

Based on what you see first, there are different interpretations that have been made by Fact Factories in their quiz.

Towards you?

If you saw the man running towards you, then you are more “male-brained”. 

Such people are more adept at solving problems with instant analytical skills and reasoning.

You are excellent at multitasking and will excel in creative fields that require bringing in fresh ideas and out-of-the-box thinking.

Debate persists on whether to classify parts of the brain as masculine or feminine. One school of thought believes that actions are determined by the makeup of the brain and then moulded by experiences.
