	Question 1 / 7

When someone compliments your work or praises your achievements, how do you usually react?

	I feel confident and proud of what I've accomplished. I believe that my hard work has paid off, and I'm genuinely pleased with the recognition.
	I downplay the compliment, thinking it was just luck or that others could have done it too. I struggle to internalize the praise and tend to attribute my success to external factors rather than my own skills.
	I'm unsure if I really deserve the praise, questioning my abilities. I often think that others could have done it better or that I was just lucky this time.
	I get anxious, worrying that people will soon realize I'm not as capable as they think I am. I fear being exposed as a fraud and worry that others will discover I'm not as competent as I appear.

	Question 2 / 7

How do you react when faced with a new challenge or opportunity?

	I'm cautiously optimistic, but with some doubts about my abilities. While I'm open to the challenge, there's a part of me that wonders if I have what it takes to excel.
	I feel excited and eager to tackle it head-on. I see it as a chance to learn and grow, believing in my ability to adapt and succeed.
	I feel overwhelmed and anxious, fearing that I'll fall short or make mistakes. The uncertainty of the new situation triggers my insecurities, making it hard to approach the challenge confidently.
	I'm convinced I'm not qualified and hesitant to even try. I doubt my skills and expertise to the point where I might avoid the opportunity altogether, fearing failure or being exposed as inadequate.

	Question 3 / 7

When comparing yourself to others in my field, what thoughts often cross your mind?

	I feel like I'm not as talented or capable as my peers. I often focus on what others seem to excel at, leading to doubts about my own skills and contributions.
	I worry that others will eventually see through my façade and expose me as a fraud. I live in fear of being discovered as someone who doesn't belong, despite any evidence to the contrary.
	I acknowledge my strengths and weaknesses without feeling inferior. I recognize that everyone has their own unique abilities and areas for growth, and I'm comfortable with where I stand.
	I believe my achievements are a result of luck or timing, rather than skill. I attribute my successes to external factors, feeling that others could have achieved the same results given the same opportunities.

	Question 4 / 7

When offered a promotion or advancement opportunity, how do you typically respond?

	I decline the opportunity, convinced I'm not capable of success at that level. I feel overwhelmed by the responsibilities and doubt my ability to perform well.
	I question why I was chosen and worry I won't be able to meet expectations. I doubt whether I truly deserve the promotion and fear I might disappoint others.
	I feel confident in my abilities and accept the opportunity with enthusiasm. I see it as a chance to grow and challenge myself further.
	I'm hesitant to accept, fearing I'm not truly qualified for the new role. I question if I have the necessary skills and worry about potential shortcomings.

	Question 5 / 7

When handling setbacks or failures in your work or personal life, how do you typically react?

	I view them as opportunities for growth and learning. I believe setbacks provide valuable lessons that can help me improve and develop professionally.
	I see them as proof that I don't belong in my role or field. I feel discouraged by failures, doubting my fit and competence in my current position.
	I attribute them to external factors beyond my control. I tend to blame circumstances or other people for the setbacks, avoiding personal responsibility.
	I take them personally and feel like they confirm my inadequacies. I often internalize failures, seeing them as evidence of my shortcomings.

	Question 6 / 7

When prioritizing tasks, what tends to influence my decisions the most?

	I prioritize tasks based on what seems easier or more appealing at the moment, avoiding tasks that challenge my confidence. I worry about not measuring up and fear being exposed as inexperienced or inadequate.
	Personal interest or enjoyment of the task guides my choices. I prioritize tasks that align with my passions or that I find fulfilling. While I'm enthusiastic about these tasks, there's a lingering concern about whether my interest translates to genuine expertise, leading me to occasionally question my abilities and fear judgment from peers.
	I often second-guess my abilities, doubting my competence and fearing that others will discover I'm not as capable as I appear. This self-doubt holds me back from embracing new challenges and opportunities, fearing judgment and scrutiny from others.
	Urgency and importance drive my task list. I prioritize tasks based on deadlines and their impact on overall goals. While I feel confident in handling these tasks efficiently, there's a subtle underlying pressure to maintain this level of competence to avoid any potential scrutiny or judgment from others.

	Question 7 / 7

How do you feel about sharing your ideas or speaking up in meetings?

	I often stay quiet and let others take the lead, doubting whether my contributions would be well-received or make a difference. I worry about standing out and drawing attention to myself, preferring to stay in the background.
	I rarely share my ideas and avoid speaking up in meetings, convinced that others will dismiss them or see me as inexperienced. I struggle with self-doubt and fear being perceived as an imposter, which inhibits my willingness to engage openly.
	I feel confident sharing my ideas and actively participate in discussions, valuing collaboration with my colleagues. I believe in the importance of contributing diverse perspectives to drive innovation and progress.
	I hesitate to speak up, fearing that my ideas might not be as valuable as others' or that I might say something wrong. This uncertainty sometimes holds me back from voicing my opinions, even when I have insights to share.
