Fascinated lately by the idea of measuring how easily/swiftly some people incorporate new skills into their professional identity vs struggling with this. I think this is much more nuanced than "imposter syndrome"

You see this emerge in within-field splits like who calls themselves a "computational" social scientist or not. Who thinks that taking a little stab at Python means you're a "data scientist" or not (I took years to think I could use that term even though I did tons of stats)
