This is the impossible problem with hiring. Every interviewer wants to minimize false positives (they're expensive!), but every interviewee thinks they're a false negative.

Which is funny since I bet most who thinks they are a "false negative" also would claim to have "impostor syndrome". Anyone with impostor syndrome would view themselves as a true negative.

I don't think this could be true? If you think you don't belong/deserve the job (imposter)... why would you think you deserved the job (false negative).
