Most People Are Narcissists… Count the squares

At first glance, this puzzle seems simple: count the number of squares. However, your response 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 the psychological tendencies often associated with narcissism.

Why This Puzzle Triggers Overconfidence

Narcissists tend to believe they are always right, often dismissing other viewpoints. When asked to count the squares, some people may confidently give a quick answer without double-checking their work. This snap judgment reflects a common narcissistic trait: overconfidence in one’s abilities and perceptions.
