Imposter syndrome is where you feel like you have been put somewhere you aren’t qualified to be.
This happens a decent amount to people that are academically gifted. This pattern is one I recognize a lot in women and minorities. It was a pattern I was exposed to when schools like Stanford recruited me to play baseball. I remember thinking: The only reason I have a o.82 ERA in the DuPage Valley conference is because everyone else sucks here in Chicago. If I were put up against the best in California, I’d be discovered as a fraud and my ERA (earned run avg) would jump over 1.00. I’m an imposter. I’m going to play baseball in the big 10.
Robert Scoble has a great video about imposter syndrome
