Abstract

Defining Imposter Syndrome

Despite evidence, fears being exposed as not having the expertise expected in your role. Despite evidence, feels like a fraud. Attributes success to luck, masking skills, or the work of other people. Internalizes failure and over-focus on mistakes. Over-estimates abilities of others, underestimates amount of work those individuals put in.
