The Imposter Syndrome Profile

The quiet conviction that your success is borrowed and the truth is one meeting away

About this assessment

An original, educational self-reflection instrument inspired by the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale. Instead of asking whether you "feel like a fraud," it drops you into specific work and achievement moments — the praise you deflect, the win you credit to luck, the email you over-edit at midnight — and asks how you actually move. It maps four facets of the impostor pattern: fear of being a fraud, discounting your own success, attributing wins to luck or timing, and fear of being exposed. Built for self-awareness and psychoeducation; it is not a diagnosis or a substitute for professional care.
