Impostor syndrome is mostly marked by the feeling of being a fraud which can run in parallel to feelings of "I know I'm smart, but I feel so dumb compared to everyone else." It's a constant self-doubt in spite of knowledge of what one is capable of; self doubt that one should be in a particular position, because while one knows what they're capable of, they think they should be capable of more when comparing oneself to one's peers. One doesn't need accomplishments to feel like an impostor and a lack of notable accomplishments doesn't mean that one shouldn't be in a particular position.
