Explanation:

Question 5

To determine the broad definition of impostor syndrome, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Impostor syndrome is not about assuming other personas for success. Eliminate.
• Option 2: It's not about fear of disclosure of shameful thoughts. Eliminate.
• Option 3: Impostor syndrome involves not taking credit for success, attributing it to external factors (like luck, others' mistakes). This matches.
• Option 4: It's not a mental health disorder (as per option 6's quote) and not about fear of public recognition. Eliminate.

We need a quote supporting the correct answer to Q5 (attributing success to external factors, not internalizing success).

• Option 1: Talks about marginalized groups, not the definition. Eliminate.
• Option 2: "do not internalize their success" means they attribute success externally (matches Q5's correct answer). Correct.
• Option 3: Talks about failure perception, not success attribution. Eliminate.
• Option 4: Talks about it not being a mental disorder, not the definition. Eliminate.

Answer:

The persistent and overpowering need to attribute one’s success to external factors
