Why does it seem like STEM grads disproportionately suffer more from impostor syndrome while business grads seem to disproportionately suffer less?

Probably the nature of the work - it's easier to feel like an impostor if success is primarily defined by detailed knowledge of the field. I suspect that in the business field you can't succeed unless you're comfortable portraying incomplete or speculative information as fact. Just guessing, though.
