- 6–8 squares: You’re easy-going and don’t overanalyze everything. You notice what’s obvious and move on. You’re less likely to stress about perfection or control.
- 9–11 squares: You’re analytical and careful. You like solving problems and thinking deeply, but you still balance logic with intuition.
- 12–14 squares: You see beyond what others miss. You’re a perfectionist, a detail-hunter — and possibly, according to the meme’s cheeky tone, a little self-centered or controlling. In other words, the “narcissist” label here is a joke about how deeply you inspect yourself and the world around you.

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.
