The funny side of personality illusions.
Tests like these are not meant to diagnose anyone; they are simply playful ways to reflect on how our mind works. Whether you’ve seen 9, 13, or 27 triangles, what matters most is why you saw them.

Our brains are programmed to find meaning even in simple ways. That’s what makes us humans endlessly curious and sometimes wonderfully complex.
