Brainteaser shows your true personality based on how you handle 'moral lesson'

While some brainteasers work to improve your critical-thinking skills, others can determine your true character. That's exactly what a new picture-based brainteaser aims to achieve - but not everyone can agree on the lesson it's trying to share. TikTok user @selfdevelopment71 shared a "mind game" showing two men reaching out for various amounts of money.

In the image, the older man is seen standing on top of nine books enabling him to reach the top shelf, where the most money is stored. Whereas, the younger man is seen leaning against the first of three shelves trying to stretch his arm up high enough to also reach the top shelf. It reads: "If this picture is a story, what is the moral lesson here?" Commenting on the post, one user agreed the lesson is "education is the key to success".



In agreement, another user said: "Learning until the letter L is silent." A third user added: "Knowledge is key." However, another believes the answer is "work on what you want".

Another added: "Don’t expect to be successful without putting in the work." A final user said: "Work smarter not harder." There is no correct answer to this brainteaser as it instead aims to reveal how you approach challenges presented to you.

Sharing how personality tests work, a statement from Psychology Today reads: "The psychology of personality promises to help people better understand themselves and those they know in relation to others. "Personality tests, which typically take the form of questionnaires, are the tools for doing that. These measures of personality are also used in scientific research to explore how individual differences in various traits correspond with other aspects of people’s lives.

"Personality tests are only 'tests' in a loose sense: There is no right or wrong answer to their questions. And the best personality measures are not 'pass/fail' – they don’t sort individuals into one category or another, but instead place them on a series of trait continuums depending on how they compare to other people.".
