- Why your critic sounds the way it does, its protective intent, not just its harshness

- The hidden cost of your critic, burnout, perfectionism paralysis, comparison fatigue, or rest-resistance
A 10-question self-discovery quiz inspired by CBT inner-critic typology. Maps the voice in your head to one of six archetypes, Perfectionist, Comparer, Catastrophizer, People-Pleaser, Imposter, or Drill-Sergeant. Tone: compassionate identification, not amplification.
They map to inner-critic types repeatedly identified in CBT and compassion-focused therapy literature (Stone & Stone 1989 voice dialogue, Firestone 1997 critical inner voice, Gilbert 2009 compassionate mind). Each critic has a different protective intent, different costs, and different counter-moves.
Yes. Almost everyone has an inner critic, it's a normal part of how the mind processes safety, social belonging, and standards. The problem isn't its presence; it's its volume, its frequency, and whether it helps or sabotages. Chronic harsh self-criticism is linked to depression, anxiety, and burnout.
