The Number Of Triangles You See Determines If You’re A Narcissist
At first glance, the viral triangle illusion seems simple — just colorful shapes stacked together. But look closer, and people count anywhere from 9 to over 20 triangles. The puzzle isn’t really about math; it’s about perception.
Those who see 9 triangles tend to be realists who value clarity and simplicity. Spotting 13–16 suggests balance — an ability to notice details without losing the bigger picture. Seeing 20 or more reveals a creative “pattern amplifier” who connects everything into grand designs.
Psychologists link this to Gestalt perception — our brain’s instinct to see wholes rather than parts. The image reminds us that personality shapes perception: whether you focus on what’s visible or imagine what lies beyond, both reveal how beautifully your mind works.
