A descriptive statistical analysis was conducted, followed with a chi square test, and Pearson correlation. Results reveal that 29.8 % subjects are impostors. Data analysis show that it correlates negatively with self-esteem and self-efficacy. The impostor phenomenon as an entity interconnected with self-image fulfillment are discussed.
