The syndrome goes back to the phrase “I know I don’t know” or “I know I can’t really know”. You get to the point very quickly when you look at technical topics. Idr gets so many insights that are also so diverse/hearted that one loses the overview and also the clarity. One comes into question: what is correct, how do I act correctly, etc. – one becomes more and more professional in your subject, but more and more doubts about its own accuracy and a correct answer. Even though all others think they are intelligent and admirable, they are their greatest critics. The term “high-capacity” in the context is misleading. Rather, I would say this as follows:

  • Many information leads to unambiguous situations/ unclear answers
  • many information leads to disorientation and inactivity
  • many information leads to self-interest/ self-doubt

A state in which someone doubts his skills, achievements and talents and fears to be exposed as a deceiver, although there is evidence of his skills, achievements and talents and his fears are unfounded.

It is also called “high-capler syndrome” and means suffering from self-doubts and feeling themselves as a high-capler.
