The Number Of Squares You See Determines If You’re A Narcissist

This test isn’t scientific — it’s more of a mirror for self-reflection. What it really measures is perception style. Some people process information globally (seeing the big picture first), while others focus on small details before stepping back.

In real psychology, narcissism has nothing to do with how many squares you count. But your reaction to the challenge can be revealing. Did you feel proud of spotting all 14? Did you get annoyed that others didn’t see as many? Or did you shrug and laugh it off? That response says more about your mindset than the number itself.
