You see it all over social media: a bright orange T-shirt with two ragged tears in the front and a teasing headline — “How many holes you see in this T-shirt determines if you’re a narcissist.”
Before you start psychoanalyzing yourself, relax. This riddle isn’t a personality test; it’s a playful logic puzzle that says more about how you think than who you are.
The Trick Behind the Question
The real challenge lies in what you consider a “hole.” When you look at that shirt, are you counting just the two obvious rips? Or do you include the built-in openings — the neck, sleeves, and waist? How you define a “hole” completely changes your answer.
So, let’s break down everything that could count:
-
Two big torn holes on the front — the ones everyone sees first.
-
The neck opening.
-
Two sleeve openings.
-
The bottom or waist opening.
