          "name": "Few Imposter Feelings",
          "desc": "Your answers show few signs of the imposter pattern. For the most part you can take in evidence of your own competence, accept credit when it's earned, and carry your achievements without a nagging fear of being 'found out'. That doesn't mean you never doubt yourself — healthy, occasional doubt is normal and even useful — but it isn't running the show. This is a self-reflection snapshot, not a clinical result, and it can shift with a new role, a tougher environment, or higher stakes.",
          "recommendation": "Self-trust like this is worth protecting. As you take on bigger or less familiar challenges, expect some doubt to surface — that's a sign you're stretching, not a sign you're a fraud. Keeping a simple record of what you actually did and decided makes it easier to stay grounded when the stakes rise."
        },
        "occasional": {
          "name": "Occasional Imposter Moments",
          "desc": "Your answers point to occasional imposter feelings — they show up in specific situations, usually new, visible, or high-stakes ones, then fade once you settle in. This is extremely common; the original researchers found these feelings widespread among capable, accomplished people. The pattern here is situational rather than constant: you can usually recognise your competence, but certain moments still trigger the 'maybe I don't belong here' voice.",
          "recommendation": "Notice the specific triggers — a promotion, a room of experts, a first attempt at something. Naming the feeling as 'imposter feelings' rather than as fact takes a lot of its power away. Collecting concrete evidence of what you've genuinely done, and revisiting it before the triggering moments, is one of the most practical counterweights."
        },
        "frequent": {
          "name": "Frequent Imposter Feelings",
          "desc": "Your answers suggest imposter feelings show up frequently — across more situations and with more intensity. You may regularly attribute success to luck, discount praise, fear being exposed, and feel you have to overwork just to keep up appearances. This is a recognised psychological pattern (often called the impostor phenomenon), not a personal failing or a fixed identity — and importantly, it tends to be unrelated to actual ability. Many high-performing people score here.",
          "recommendation": "The mechanics are worth understanding: imposter feelings often run on a loop of over-preparation or procrastination, then relief, which never updates the underlying belief. Breaking that loop — by separating the feeling from the facts, naming the discounting as it happens, and talking about it openly (it's far more common than people admit) — is where change starts. If it's affecting your wellbeing or choices, a therapist or coach who works with this pattern can help."
        },
        "intense": {
          "name": "Intense Imposter Pattern",
          "desc": "Your answers point to intense, pervasive imposter feelings — a strong, persistent sense of being a fraud despite real evidence of competence. At this level the pattern can shape decisions: holding back from opportunities, chronic overwork, difficulty enjoying achievements, and ongoing anxiety about being exposed. This is a self-reflection result, not a diagnosis, but a pattern this strong is worth taking seriously — and it says nothing true about your actual ability.",
          "recommendation": "When imposter feelings are this loud, self-help reframing helps but often isn't enough on its own. Talking to someone you trust about it tends to be a relief because the fear thrives on secrecy. If these feelings are driving anxiety, holding you back from things you want, or wearing you down, consider speaking with a therapist or coach experienced with the impostor phenomenon — it's a well-understood pattern with real, workable approaches."
