Understanding your score
This audit is not a medical diagnosis. It’s a quick reading grid. Here’s what your score reveals, and what it doesn’t.
- The score reveals: how many Talent Trap signals concern you right now, in your typical week. It’s a mapping, not a verdict.
- The score doesn’t reveal: the deep cause (your blind spot, your tacit contract, your 6 needs in deficit). For that, the in-depth Trap Exit Diagnostic is necessary.
- The score doesn’t replace: a medical opinion if you experience serious physical symptoms, or psychological support if you’re in distress.

Your next steps
According to your score, here are the recommended paths.
- Score 0-3: stay in observation. Read the complete guide to the Talent Trap to understand the mechanism preventively.
- Score 4-6: launch the Trap Exit Diagnostic (free, 4 CEIA modules, 15 min). The right first step.
- Score 7+: diagnostic + look at Cohort 01 of the Expansion Bootcamp. 30 days to validate your exit. Total anonymity. Deliverable-linked guarantee.
P.S. If you want to redo the audit in 3 months to see the evolution, bookmark the page. Reloading the page resets the score, you can redo it as many times as you want. Time tracking is often more telling than a single score.
