The image you see first in this visual test reveals what you find most attractive in a partner

It can be hard to pin down exactly what it is that makes some people attractive to us and others not, but the image you see first in this visual test reveals what it is that you personally find most attractive in a partner.

Research shows that we tend to be attracted to people who we believe share what we see as our essential interests, likes and dislikes. However, this is not always obvious, and it can be difficult trying to wrap our heads around what it is that attracts us most to others. Our inexplicable attraction to someone can make our friends ask “Why?” — leaving you to answer as best you can by saying something like, “I have no earthly idea!” Sometimes we are simply drawn to people for reasons beyond our understanding.

The image you see first in this visual test reveals what you find most attractive in a romantic partner.

1. If you saw the woman on the cliff first

If you saw the woman on the rock first when you looked at the picture, the personality trait you find most attractive is vanity. You can’t help it. You swoon over someone who swoons first and foremost over themselves. There’s something about their cartoonish good looks and peacock-like manner that draws you closer and closer.

Remember that confidence is different from vanityy. It’s good to believe in yourself and love yourself, but you have to make room for others in your heart as well.

2. If you saw the sailboat first

If you saw the sailboat first when looking at the picture, the personality trait you find most attractive is rebelliousness. You envy the adventurous people who don’t seem to mind leaving all their responsibilities behind and heading out into the great wide open.

Their boldness is definitely appealing, but if they’re willing to leave everything behind, it might mean they leave you in the dust, too. Just something to think about.

3. If you saw the man’s face first

If you saw the man’s face first when looking at the picture, what personality trait do you find most attractive? is stoicism. You are deeply emotional and expressing those feelings is important to you, but you want your partner to be different, someone who is sure to be a total rock of support, hiding their own emotions as they help manage yours.

Being strong and supportive doesn’t have to mean shutting down or repressing emotions. You can find a strong partner who is also extremely in touch with how they feel. And honestly, you should be there for them too.

4. If you saw the boats under the bridge first

If you saw the boats under the bridge first when you looked at the picture, the personality trait you find most attractive is a fiery temper. You have a soft spot for people who let their emotions wash over them, both good and bad. Maybe you’ve just seen a bunch of movies that promote bad relationship stereotypes. Either way, anyone with a temper is someone you’re sure to want.

We all get angry from time to time. If we manage it properly, it is completely healthy and normal. If your fiery guy gets this, great. But if his anger ever makes you feel scared, that’s bad news. You might want to change that.
