The Imposter Test: http://paulineroseclance.com/pdf/IPscoringtest.pdf

“When people praise me for something I’ve accomplished,

I’m afraid I won’t be able to live up to their expectations of me in

the future”

“I’m afraid people important to me may find out that I’m not as

capable as they think I am”

“I rarely do a project or task as well as I’d like to do it”

“I often compare my ability to those around me and think they

may be more intelligent than I am”

Fear is an emotion induced by a threat perceived by living entities, which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately a change in behavior, such as running away, hiding or freezing from traumatic events.
