Table 1 shows the number and percent of educators in our sample who are considered to have imposter syndrome. The imposter syndrome scale by Clance and Imes (1978) has 4 score bands based on the total score for 20 items which ranges from 20 to 100: A score between 41 and 60 is defined as moderate imposter phenomenon experiences; a score between 61 and 80 is defined as frequent impostor syndrome; and a score higher than 80 means frequent intense impostor phenomenon experiences. Scores below 41 were considered not to meet the threshold of imposter syndrome.
