How to build an imposter-style review quiz

A Gimkit-style imposter quiz works best when the questions come from your own course material rather than a generic bank. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides or notes and writes multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, each with an explanation you can check against the source.

  • Keep one clearly correct answer per multiple-choice question so the review round stays fair.
  • Check every explanation against your source before students see it.
  • Use true/false items for quick misconceptions and open questions for reasoning.
  • DeckOwl creates the questions; it does not host a live game session.
Example imposter syndrome review questions
Who first described the impostor phenomenon, and in what year?Psychologists Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes, in 1978. They based the description on their work with high-achieving women.
True or false: impostor feelings only affect people who are not good at their work.False. Impostor feelings also appear in high achievers, which is why the pattern is often missed.
Is impostor phenomenon listed as a diagnosis in DSM-5?No. It is a described experience rather than a formal disorder, so it is not diagnosed as a condition in DSM-5.
Which behavior is commonly linked to impostor feelings?Over-preparing or avoiding feedback. Both reinforce the belief by keeping people from checking their competence against evidence.
What is a useful way to counter impostor feelings in a study group?Compare notes on shared mistakes. Seeing that struggle is common weakens the feeling that you alone are behind.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions to build the imposter-style review round.

Review and export

Check each question and explanation against your source, then export the set in the format you need.

Accuracy matters more than volume in a review round. Because the questions are generated from your files, read each one before class, fix any wording that drifts from the source, and keep only the items that test something your students need to know.
