This is one of those viral “personality test” images — but it has no scientific basis for diagnosing narcissism.
🔺 First, how many triangles are actually there?
If we count carefully:
-
Bottom row: 4
-
Above that: 3
-
Above that: 2
-
Top: 1
That’s 10 visible physical triangles.
There are no hidden overlapping triangle outlines in this image — just 10 separate triangle shapes arranged in a pyramid.
🧠 Does the number you see reveal narcissism?
No.
Narcissism — especially Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) — is a complex psychological condition diagnosed using structured clinical criteria, not visual puzzles.
Seeing:
-
Fewer triangles → doesn’t mean low empathy
-
More triangles → doesn’t mean high narcissism
-
Missing some → doesn’t mean anything about your personality
These types of images are designed for engagement and curiosity, not psychology.
