„The impostor syndrome, sometimes called impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome, is a
psychological phenomenon in which people are unable to internalize their accomplishments.
Despite external evidence of their competence, those with the syndrome remain convinced that
they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved. Proof of success is dismissed
as luck, timing, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent and
competent than they believe themselves to be.”

„The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias which can manifest in one of two ways:
Unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than
is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their
ineptitude.”
