Count The Squares

This puzzle isn’t just about counting squares; it’s about how you approach the problem and how that might reveal aspects of your personality.

Why It Triggers Overconfidence: Narcissists often have an overconfidence bias—they trust their initial judgments without second-guessing them. So, when asked to count the squares, someone with narcissistic tendencies may rush to a conclusion, believing their first guess is correct. On the other hand, people who are open-minded and self-reflective tend to take more time to reconsider their answers, showing a willingness to acknowledge that they might be wrong.

Breaking Down the Square Count: To correctly count the squares, you need to carefully analyze the image. You might see:

Small squares: The individual squares within the grid.
Medium squares: Combinations of smaller squares forming larger squares.
Large squares: The whole grid as one large square.
Many people miss some of the hidden squares by rushing, which can lead to an incorrect answer. Narcissists may be less likely to consider every possibility and check for missed squares, due to their overconfidence in their first instinct.

What Your Answer Says About You:

Fewer than 6 squares: You tend to make quick assumptions, showing impulsiveness and a strong belief in your judgment—indicating overconfidence.
6 to 9 squares: You have a moderate level of awareness but may overlook some details. Your confidence is balanced but sometimes leads to misjudgment.
10 to 13 squares: You analyze carefully, showing humility and an ability to question your own assumptions—traits linked to open-mindedness.
Final Thought: This puzzle is a tool for self-reflection. How you approach it can show whether you’re open-minded, self-critical, or overconfident. The true challenge isn’t just counting squares, but understanding how willing you are to question your own perceptions and judgments.

So, how many squares do you see?
