Evaluate your confidence levels and discover if imposter syndrome is affecting you.
Imposter syndrome affects an estimated 70% of people at some point in their lives. This assessment measures both your foundational self-esteem and the degree to which imposter feelings may be undermining your confidence and performance. Understanding these patterns is the first step toward authentic self-assurance.
Imposter syndrome was first identified by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes in 1978, initially in high-achieving women. Subsequent research revealed it affects all genders and demographics. Morris Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (1965) remains the most widely used measure of global self-worth. Our assessment combines elements from both the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale and Rosenberg's framework to provide a dual lens on confidence and self-worth patterns.
