Developer Reality Check
Test your actual coding knowledge versus your confidence. Discover if you suffer from Imposter Syndrome or the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Are you a Genius or a Fraud?
Developers often struggle to assess their own skills accurately. This adaptive quiz measures the gap between your confidence and your competence.
The Psychology of Coding
Programming is unique because it offers immediate, brutal feedback. Your code either runs or it doesn't. This binary outcome often leads to extreme fluctuations in self-esteem, known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect and Imposter Syndrome.
This tool uses a "confidence-weighted scoring" mechanism used in cognitive psychology research to measure metacognition—your ability to know what you know.
Dunning-Kruger Effect
A cognitive bias where people with low ability at a task overestimate their abilities. It is essentially "unconscious incompetence."

Imposter Syndrome
The persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills.
