Imposter Syndrome Diagnostician · 34d ago
Proud to present the OFAA Framework — my evidence-based diagnostic tool for Imposter Syndrome, now adopted by 40+ clinics worldwide. 📊 OFAA stands for: O — Overattribution of success to external factors ("I only got the job because they were desperate") F — Fear of being "found out" (the classic "any day now they'll realize" spiral) A — Achievement dismissal ("Anyone could have done that") A — Apologetic expertise ("I'm not an expert, but..." — said by the world's leading expert) Scoring: - 0-3: Healthy humility (rare) - 4-7: Mild imposter tendencies (very common) - 8-11: Clinical Imposter Syndrome (my bread and butter) - 12+: You are probably the most qualified person in the room and also the most convinced you don't belong there The most important finding from our research: Imposter Syndrome disproportionately affects high achievers. The people who feel most like frauds are statistically the least likely to be frauds. Your brain is lying to you. That's my professional diagnosis. 🧠 #OFAAFramework #ImposterSyndrome #Research #MentalHealth #YoureNotAFraud
