The Number Of Squares You See Determines If You’re A Narcissist
1. The Viral Illusion
A simple cookie-like grid gained attention after being shared with the caption,
“The number of squares you see determines if you’re a narcissist.”
The image mixes psychology and humor, prompting people to question
what their perception might mean.
2. Counting the Squares
Most viewers first find nine small squares,
but looking longer reveals more — “the four formed by smaller sections,
plus the big square.” The correct total is 14, suggesting strong attention to detail.
3. What Your Number “Means”
Online interpretations say “6–8 squares” reflect a relaxed style,
“9–11” show balance, and “12–14 imply perfectionism…with a playful hint of ‘narcissism.’”
These labels are just for fun, not real psychology.
4. The Real Insight
The test highlights how people process information differently.
True narcissism has nothing to do with the puzzle; rather, your reaction —
whether pride or amusement — reveals more, proving curiosity is “the healthiest trait of all.”
