In the video, TikTok user Evian Lee (@evianlee) showed her audience a painting.
Evian, who shares multiple optical illusions to her page, asked her nearly 50,000 followers: “Do you know what kind of friend you are?”
If you look closely at the picture, you may spot a dragon, a soldier or a man in a hat.
Delving deeper into the meaning, Evian said: “If you see the dragon first, you are a loyal friend.
“When it comes to protecting your friends from other people mistreating them, you are always the first to take a stand.
“However, your temper may make situations for them difficult at times. Make sure you are not making it worse or more challenging for them.”
The influencer also explained what it means if your eyes first focused on the soldier.
She continued: “If the first thing that catches your attention is the soldier, you are the kind of friend who always stands by the people who are close to you, no matter what.
“You may not always come up with the best words to comfort them when in need, or you might not be the first person to involve in a fight on behalf of your best friend but they can always rely on you to stand by them no matter what occurs.
“Your friends love and value you and are always eager to hear your take. Don’t be scared to speak your heart out.”
Finally, she revealed those who noticed the man in the hat first have a “sense of humour”.
“If the first thing that draws your attention in the picture is the man in the hat, it means that you are the friend who saves the day with your sense of humour,” Evian explained.
“No matter how tense the situation is, you can always make the mood lighter with a quick joke.
“It doesn’t mean you don’t take things seriously. You just need to keep one thing in your mind that you don’t offend anyone with your joke.”
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the illusion, which has received more than 50,000 likes.
One said: “I saw the ‘man in hat’ first and the description is sooo me.”
Another commented: “I saw all at once.”
A third joked: “I seen a man with particular stash and accent.”
