1. If you saw the skull
If you saw the skull first, your secret introvert trait is your need for periods of silence.
You love the hustle and bustle of daily life, but you need at least an hour of work if you ever plan on getting anything else done.
It's not because you can't concentrate, it's because these quiet moments help you recharge.
Be sure to express your needs, even if they seem at odds with who you are. Doing so will make for less tension between you and your partner.
2. If you saw the hooded figure
If you saw the hooded figure first, your secret introvert trait is your intense passion for privacy.
You're a great partner, and you're everyone's favorite when you show up to get loud and rowdy at parties, but none of that means that you are necessarily an open book, even to your partners.
Having your privacy respected is critical for you, though you might be overly wary of admitting this for fear it could push a potential partner away.
Don't be silly. You can't get mad at someone for not giving you something you never asked for.
3. If you saw the blades
If you saw the blades first, your secret introvert personality trait is your short temper if you don't get a day "off."
Sure, you get the weekends off, but being who you are, that usually means you spend those days off interacting with your friends and going on various adventures.
You're the kind of person who goes on vacation and then needs to take a vacation from their vacation.
Don't ever feel the need to justify yourself when you turn down an invitation.
You accept so many that tapping out for the day won't register as strange to anyone, especially not to the people who love and know you well.
