Some brainteasers are designed to sharpen your critical-thinking skills, while others claim to reveal the essence of your character.
That’s the goal of a new visual puzzle that’s got everyone talking – but there’s no consensus on the message it’s trying to convey.
TikTok user @selfdevelopment71 posted a “mind game” featuring two man reaching for different amounts of money.
In the snap, an older chap stands atop nine books, which boosts him high enough to grab the most cash from the top shelf.
Meanwhile, a younger lad is seen propping himself against the bottom shelf, straining to reach the same lofty heights. The caption queries: “If this picture is a story, what is the moral lesson here?”
Chiming in, one viewer reckons it’s all about how “education is the key to success”.
Echoing that sentiment, another adds: “Learning until the letter L is silent.” Yet another chimes in with: “Knowledge is key.” But some reckon the real takeaway is “work on what you want”. Another suggests: “Don’t expect to be successful without putting in the work.”
One more advises: “Work smarter not harder.” This brainteaser doesn’t have a definitive answer; it’s more about showing how you tackle life’s hurdles.
Dishing the dirt on personality tests, Psychology Today states: “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.
