That’s another viral psychology clickbait test, not a real diagnostic tool.
🧠 What it’s claiming
These posts usually show an image with circles and say:
- “How many you see = your personality”
- “You’re a narcissist if you see X”
But there is no scientific basis for this.
⚠️ Reality check
Narcissism (as a personality trait or disorder) is diagnosed through:
- Long-term behavior patterns
- Clinical interviews
- Standard psychological assessments
Not visual illusions or “how many circles you see” tests.
🧪 Why these go viral
- They feel personal and emotional
- People want quick self-insight
- They use psychology words to sound credible
But they’re entertainment, not science.
💡 Bottom line
Seeing more or fewer circles says nothing about narcissism or personality type.
If you want, send the image and I can explain:
- what the illusion actually is testing (it’s usually perception, not personality)
- and what psychologists really use instead of these online quizzes
