Well the bible doesn't specifically say so but under close 'investigation' it does. The bible declares many things.
1- you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)
2- you were made in the image and likeness of God (Gen 1:26)
3- he chose you , before the foundations of the world (Eph 1:4)
4- before I formed you in your mother's womb I knew you(Jer 1:5).
Having said that, God loves you and don't want you to be anyone else. he has the hair on your head numbered and therefore there can never be two of you.

I suggest you search in a Concordance (an index of all the words in the Bible) for words like deceive, act, pretend, joke, or 'false witness'.
You could also look up the flip side: plan, change, or transform. Romans 12:1, 2 comes to mind.
God wants us to be transformed by renewing our minds.
God wants fools to become wise, for example.
If you're pretending to be a medical doctor, that's not a good idea - that's deceit. If you aspire to become one, and study etc, that is commendable.

Why does it matter? Are you a fundamentalist who needs to know how to behave based on one book? Got to look that one up to know if you're doing the right thing? I don't need to read something somewhere to know if it's the right thing. Well, maybe in etiquette, like what to wear to a certain function.

(2 Cor 10:12) For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

And as someone pointed out, its best to focus on living for Christ. God is a creative God and He made all of us unique individuals. So we dont have to try to be like someone else.

Nowhere. It does say however, that you are to die to self and allow Christ to live His Life IN and THRU you.
Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ, therefore it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives IN me, and the life I now live , I live by the faithfulness of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me."
