SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “My job title is my introduction”, including the private rule underneath it: If my title is impressive, I am impressive. If it's ordinary, so am I. My name alone isn't enough to make a first impression; the credential must come first, or I'm unmemorable.
QUIET
“My job title is my introduction” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “My title is what I do forty hours a week. My introduction is who I am in all the hours that follow.”
PRESENT
“My job title is my introduction” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “The people who matter knew me before this job and will know me after it ends.”
ACTIVE
“My job title is my introduction” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Write down your name, then the names of five people who've known you for years. Read them without your title attached. Notice if you're actually smaller without it, or if you're just less defended.
DOMINANT
Right now, “My job title is my introduction” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: Write down your name, then the names of five people who've known you for years. Read them without your title attached. Notice if you're actually smaller without it, or if you're just less defended.
