There's a huge amount of bullshit in this article, but I'm only going to respond to this little nugget: "A person with high self-esteem will not be experiencing the Impostor Syndrome, at least not frequently and/or deeply." Umm, you could not possibly be more wrong. You will find people at the absolute top of every industry who experience Impostor Syndrome--frequently and deeply. Impostor Syndrome can be an extremely powerful motivator if you use it correctly. And it can serve as an ego-limiting device once you get to be really really good at something. Just because something is called a syndrome doesn't mean it's always negative or that it even needs to be overcome. It's not a malignant tumor that is guaranteed to kill you if you don't cut it out. It's just a way of looking at the world. It can be healthy for some people to live a life of, "I'm not good enough/don't know enough yet." For other people, that can be toxic. And some people just aren't any good at certain things. That's not impostor syndrome. It's Dunning-Kreuger.
