Visual tests are going viral on social media. This one involves counting the number of circles in an image of concentric circles, and your answer could reveal your way of seeing the world.
Visual quizzes have flooded social media in recent years. Simple, quick, and often fun, they promise to reveal hidden aspects of our personality in seconds. One of the most popular right now asks a very simple question: how many circles do you see in an image made up of concentric circles? The answer, according to this quiz, could reveal a lot about your personality and your worldview.
Why we love visual tests so much
The popularity of these tests is no accident. They’re quick, fun, and encourage us to observe ourselves. We like to know how we function, how we think, and what our reactions reveal about us.
Visual tests are particularly interesting because they rely on perception. Two people can look at the same image and not see the same thing. This depends on attention, concentration, but also on how our brain analyzes visual information.
The concentric circles test
The principle is very simple: you look at an image made up of concentric circles and count how many circles you can distinguish. Some people see few, others see many. Based on this number, the test offers an interpretation of the personality.
Of course, this test should be taken as a game and not as a serious diagnosis, but the interpretations are often amusing and sometimes surprisingly accurate. This visual personality test is primarily a fun way to reflect on our observational skills.
