1. The Perfectionist: This type sets incredibly high standards for themselves and views any slight imperfection as a personal failure. They may shy away from new opportunities if there’s a chance of making a mistake or not performing perfectly. 
2. The Superhuman/Superwoman: Believing they are a fraud among truly competent peers, this individual pushes themselves to work harder and harder to prove their worth. This overworking can lead to burnout. 
3. The Expert: This person feels a constant need to know everything about their field. They may delay starting projects, fearing they don’t know enough, and constantly seek more information to validate their position. 
4. The Soloist: Soloists believe they must accomplish tasks entirely on their own to prove their competence. They may avoid asking for help, as doing so would feel like a sign of weakness or incompetence. 
5. The Natural Genius: Individuals in this category equate intelligence and ability with effortlessness. If they have to work hard to achieve something, they see it as a failure or a sign that they are not truly a “genius”.
