Speak Up with Confidence Quiz
What's Really Stopping You From Speaking Up
Struggling with speaking up, or battling with imposter syndrome? Research shows it isn't really one thing that affects us. It shows up as three distinct, observable patterns. This quiz identifies yours in eight questions — and gives you a practical first move to help you navigate your way through to a more confident you.
The Three Patterns
Most people who hold back in meetings fall into one of these three patterns.
The Softener
"You have the point. You just wrap it in six qualifiers first."
The Perfectionist
"You won't say it until it's perfect. The problem is perfect never arrives."
The Vanisher
"You'd rather be invisible than wrong."
None of these patterns mean you lack ability. They're communication habits — and communication habits can be changed. The quiz tells you which one is running most of the show for you right now.
