Both professional activities and hobbies

For example… If a new hire is introduced as “good at Python and C++” at work, what does this imply about the person’s skill level in your opinion? Or if someone says they are a “good runner”, what would come to your mind? Or is it field-dependent?

Asking because sometimes I’m not sure if I am under/over-exaggerating my own abilities when meeting new ppl at work/etc…

    Imposter syndrome just limits you. Nothing wrong with fake it 'til you make it. If you’re not doing it, someone else is. Just base your opinion of them on what you see, and act the same regarding other’s opinions of you. Actions speak louder than words.
