At first glance, the image looks harmless: a clean plate, seven glossy egg yolks arranged in a near-perfect ring, and a bold headline claiming that the number of circles you see can determine whether you’re a narcissist.

Naturally, your brain starts counting.

But very quickly, something interesting happens—people don’t all see the same number. And that difference is exactly what makes this visual test so intriguing.

If You See 7 Circles

You’re counting only the seven egg yolks.

This suggests you focus on what is obvious, concrete, and immediately visible. You prefer clarity over complexity and don’t waste energy searching for hidden meanings. You deal with the world as it presents itself.

What it implies (for fun):

You’re grounded and practical. You’re not narcissistic—you just don’t overthink things.

If You See 8 Circles

You counted the seven egg yolks plus the plate.

This means you naturally consider context. You don’t isolate details; you notice how elements fit together. You see both the subject and its environment.

What it implies (for fun):
You’re balanced. You recognize yourself, but you also see the bigger picture around you.
