What's really shaping your next decision?

Before choosing a degree, master's or career move, it helps to see the internal patterns influencing your thinking. This short test maps ten saboteur patterns that shape high-stakes decisions, often without us noticing.

What are saboteurs?

Saboteurs are automatic mental habits that once helped us cope and now quietly distort our decisions. Everyone has them. In this framework they are linked to the brain's older, survival-oriented circuitry, so they run fast and mostly out of sight. Seeing which ones are loudest for you is the first step to deciding with a clearer head.

Not a psychological diagnosis, a structured reflection tool.
