Rethinking the Imposter Phenomenon
The Imposter Phenomenon-i.e., the phenomenon of feeling like a fraud and like your successes aren't really yours-is typically construed not just as a crisis of confidence, but as a failure of rationality. On the standard story, "imposters" have bad beliefs about their talents because...

| 520 | |a The Imposter Phenomenon-i.e., the phenomenon of feeling like a fraud and like your successes aren't really yours-is typically construed not just as a crisis of confidence, but as a failure of rationality. On the standard story, "imposters" have bad beliefs about their talents because they dismiss the evidence provided by their successes. Here I suggest that this standard picture could be mistaken, and that these "imposters" may actually be more rational (on average) than non-imposters. Why? Accounting for the non-talent causes of your successes may require you to lower your confidence in your talents, in which case, "imposter" beliefs are rational. I then go on to suggest a second reason to worry about the standard picture: It does not adequately address the possible role that one's environment has in the production of the phenomenon. To give an example, I hypothesize that environments that host a "culture of genius" can alter our evidential landscape in a way that promotes the Imposter Phenomenon. Finally, I argue that my alternative picture of the Imposter Phenomenon should prompt us to opt for a conception of self-worth that is more deeply tied to virtues like intellectual humility than to relative talent possession. | ||
