#PersonalityAndIndividualDifferences

Is Imposter Syndrome Linked to Perfectionism? Yes. Recent peer-reviewed research reports that imposter syndrome is strongly associated with rigid and self-critical forms of perfectionism, and not associated with narcissistic perfectionism. In practice, people who feel like imposters tend to set inflexible standards and judge themselves harshly, but they are no more likely to endorse superiority-driven, self-promotional perfectionism. The study appears in Personality and Individual Differences. What is imposter syndrome?

Feel like a fraud? Research ties imposter feelings to rigid, self‑critical perfectionism—not healthy high standards. How do you quiet that inner critic? #ImposterSyndrome #MentalHealth #NarcissisticPerfectionism #Perfectionism #PersonalityAndIndividualDifferences
