Deenz Impostor Phenomenon Scale (DIPS)
Deenz Impostor Phenomenon Scale (DIPS) normative dataset currently contains 31 participant records collected between Jun 28, 2026 and Oct 26, 2026 .
This psychometric dataset currently includes 31 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 45.84 with a standard deviation of 13.94, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis produced a Cronbach alpha of 0, which falls below commonly accepted psychometric standards and should be interpreted cautiously until additional data are collected. Observed skewness (-0.79) and kurtosis (0.3) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.

A total of 31 participant responses were available for this assessment. Dimension-level norms were calculated using 31 valid response records. Approximately 0 response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.
Limitations
Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.
Ethical Statement
All records included in this dataset were collected anonymously. No personally identifying information is stored. Data are intended for educational, psychometric, and research purposes.
