Abstract：
Few theoretical and empirical works have described impostor phenomenon (IP) and no study explored impostorism from a dark perspective. We adopted a person-centered approach to identify clusters of impostors based on scores on the IP, perfectionistic self-presentation and the Dark Triad using a sample of 306 university students (Mage = 22.82). The latent profile analysis suggested a 6-cluster solution, which was further compared in terms of psychopathology symptoms (i.e., burnout, generalized anxiety, and fear of failure) by means of (M)ANOVAs. Our results indicated that impostorism relies on a self-presentation strategy. Moreover, individuals scoring high on IP experienced enhanced levels of psychopathology symptoms. Looking at IP from a continuum perspective might improve our understanding about what makes someone suffer from impostorism.

很少有理论和经验著作描述了冒名顶替现象（IP），也没有研究从黑暗的角度探讨了冒名顶替主义。我们采用了以人为中心的方法，根据IP上的分数来识别冒名顶替者的集群，完美主义自我表现和黑暗三合会使用306名大学生的样本(法师=22.82)。潜在剖面分析提出了一个6簇解决方案，在精神病理学症状方面进一步比较(即，倦怠,广泛性焦虑，和对失败的恐惧)通过(M)方差分析。我们的结果表明，即兴创作依赖于自我呈现策略。此外，IP评分高的个体经历了精神病理学症状水平的增强.从连续体的角度来看IP可能会提高我们对什么使某人遭受impostorism的理解。
