A new viral optical illusion claims to reveal if you have narcissistic traits based on how many circles you spot. The image is packed with overlapping circles, and the theory says your perception reflects deeper aspects of your personality.

Supposedly, if you see fewer circles, it might mean you’re more self-focused and miss the broader picture—traits often associated with narcissism. Spotting more circles suggests you’re more attentive, empathetic, and detail-oriented.

While it’s fun to ponder, experts warn not to take it too seriously. Personality can’t be boiled down to a single optical illusion! True narcissism is complex and diagnosed by professionals, not memes.

Still, these viral tests capture our curiosity because they make us reflect. Are we really seeing the full picture in life—or just what we want to see?

In the end, whether you see five circles or fifty, it’s a good reminder to look a little closer at the world—and at ourselves.
