Imposter syndrome is something I believe everyone deals with at some point in their life for at least an hour or two if not years. However, I feel classes like these that discuss it, and surrounding yourself with the right people can help limit the effects. I believe being aware of imposter syndrome and that it is common is important and can help reduce the affects. I also think surrounding yourself with loving and compassionate people who expect and push you towards greatness, but do not expect perfection is very important. This allows you to feel supported without having the pressure of having no mistakes.
After doing the rating scale, the results reflected that I have few imposter characteristics. I believe this to be pretty accurate. I am hard on myself and strive to do my best, but I believe I have a realistic view of my abilities. Likewise I am a very open and honest person. I feel I do a very good job of asking questions and admitting openly when I do not know something. I do not feel the need to pretend or masquerade as if I am in control of everything. I think this is important in preventing imposter syndrome.
