At first glance, a puzzle asking you to count the number of squares may seem simple, but it can reveal more about your personality. This visual test taps into cognitive biases, overconfidence, and psychological tendencies often linked to narcissism.
Narcissists tend to be overconfident, believing they are always right and dismissing other viewpoints. When faced with this challenge, some may quickly give an answer without double-checking, reflecting their tendency to trust their initial judgment.
