What This Puzzle Reveals About You

This square-counting puzzle is more than a brain teaser—it’s “a mirror for self-perception.” Your approach may reflect confidence, humility, or even overconfidence.
1. Why Overconfidence Happens – “Narcissists tend to believe they are always right,” often making snap judgments without double-checking.
2. Counting Squares Correctly – The puzzle includes “small squares,” “medium-sized squares,” and “the entire grid itself.” Quick counters may miss hidden ones.
3. Your Answer’s Meaning – “Fewer than 6 squares” shows impulsiveness, while “10 to 13 squares” suggests humility and careful analysis.
4. The Real Challenge – “Recognizing the limits of your own perception” matters more than just finding the answer. So, how many squares do you see?
