At first glance, this puzzle seems simple: count the number of squares. However, your answer to this challenge may reveal more about your personality than you think. This visual test is more than just an optical illusion: it taps into cognitive biases, overconfidence, and psychological tendencies often associated with narcissism.
Why this puzzle triggers overconfidence
Narcissists tend to believe they are always right and often dismiss other points of view. When asked to count the squares, some people may give a quick, confident answer without checking their work. This snap judgment reflects a common narcissistic trait: overconfidence in one’s abilities and perceptions.
However, those who take their time, reconsider their answer, and consider the possibility of being wrong demonstrate humility and open-mindedness. This ability to self-reflect is a key distinction between assertiveness and outright narcissism.
