Communication is critical for most living organisms. Even animals have their own way of letting people know when they are in heat or when there is danger nearby.

Humans have a big of an advantage where communication is concerned. For one thing, we have the power of speech, which is far from a common thing outside of mankind. You'd think being able to use words means that we would never have any misunderstandings, but that's far from the case.

Just because you know a bunch of words, that doesn't mean you know how to string them up into a sentence that accurately conveys what you want it to convey. And there are plenty of personality tests or personality quizzes that will show you how some people are just better communicators than others, whether they know it or not.

If you're curious about just how well you communicate with the people in your life, this personality test will reveal the truth.

If you saw the man's leg

If you saw the man's leg first, you're the kind of person who communicates directly.

You have no trouble formulating your thoughts and feelings and sharing them with other people. It takes a lot to make your point clear, and you should be proud of who you are.

But you should also understand that not everyone is you. Sometimes your direct and firm way doesn't leave quite enough room for the feelings of others, so be aware.

Sometimes it takes you some time to find the right words to go with your feelings, and sometimes you might say things that contradict one another in your own efforts to sort out your thoughts and feelings.

It's good to take time to work out your feelings, but remember that sometimes silence can speak volumes, and you have even less control over how that is interpreted.

If you saw both legs

If you saw both legs at once when you looked at this image, you are a person who doesn't usually think before you speak.

You have strong opinions and you like to share them almost as quickly as they pop into your head. This makes you fun and a great conversationalist.

You're so smart and witty that it's hard to keep up with you at times. But it doesn't hurt to take even one minute to think before speaking. Doing so can save you a lot of headaches later on down the road.
