You work hard, but deep down, you wonder if you’re really good enough. You overprepare to prove yourself, downplay your success, feeling like you just got lucky, or fear being “found out”—like you don’t belong. No matter how much you achieve, the doubt lingers.
If you resonate, you’re not alone—82% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point. Maybe you’ve never done anything about it because of these myths:
🚫 It’s just self-doubt. (No, it’s a pattern that holds you back.)
🚫 You just have to live with it. (Not true—it can be changed.)
🚫 Success will make it go away. (It often makes it worse.)
The truth? Imposter syndrome is fixable once you recognize it.
Find out how much imposter syndrome is affecting you with this quick assessment, based on the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) by Dr. Pauline Clance. The original scale is freely available online and this version has been turned into a digital format by Kim Coaching Group for convenience. It’s for personal insight only and not medical or psychological advice.

You set high goals, but something keeps holding you back. Maybe you procrastinate, overthink decisions, or push yourself too hard. You might be your own worst critic, constantly doubting yourself, or feel the need to control everything. These patterns—known as Saboteurs—are negative mental habits that create stress, drain your energy, and limit your success.
Unlike Imposter Syndrome, which makes you feel like a fraud despite your achievements, Saboteurs are thought patterns and behaviors that actively sabotage your confidence and performance. Different Saboteurs show up for different people—some fuel perfectionism, some create fear of failure, and others push you to overwork or avoid tough decisions.
Your Saboteurs operate in the background, shaping your thoughts and actions without you realizing it. Take the Positive Intelligence Saboteur Assessment to discover which ones are most active in your life. The test is available directly from Positive Intelligence here.
