Do you suffer from Impostor Syndrome? Take this test to find out
pWhether it#x2019;s worrying that your work isn#x2019;t 100% perfect or feeling like you haven#x2019;t truly earned your job title, there are several occasions when we feel like impostors./p
pNow, a new test has been developed that reveals if you suffer from so-called #x2018;Impostor Syndrome#x2019;./p
p The test, called the a href=http://impostortest.nickol.as/Clance Imposter Phenomenon Test/a , was developed by Nickolas Means, a developer based in Texas. /p
pIt includes 20 statements and asks you to select the answer that best indicates how true the statement is of you./p
pExamples include #x2018;I avoid evaluations if possible and have a dread of others evaluating me#x2019;, and #x2018;I#x2019;m afraid people important to me may find out that I#x2019;m not as capable as they think I am.#x2019;/p

p/p
pBased on your answers, you#x2019;ll then be given a score from 0-100, with 0 indicating you have no Impostor Syndrome, and 100 an intense feeling of impostorism./p
pThe test has been circulating on social media this week, with many people surprised by their results./p
pOne user tweeted: #x201C;I donapos;t know about the validity of this test, it seems to be making broad generalisations. Still I definitely do feel this quite often and have talked to people about it. Whether itapos;s as dramatic as the results make it seem, I donapos;t know.#x201D;#x2028;/p
pAnother added: #x201C;Ok so I did the #impostersyndrome test because why not. Expected it to be bad...not this bad though.#x201D;/p
pAnd one joked: #x201C;I canapos;t help thinking I should have done better at this #impostersyndrome test.#x201D;/p
pIf you scored highly on the test, thankfully you#x2019;re not alone - previous studies have found that over 70% people experience Impostor Syndrome at some point in their careers!/p
