You mean like people who are recipients of SAT BONUSES and AA HIRES...?
I don't think these people ever feel that sort of guilt because they have been brainwashed into believing that they are entitled to this sort of specially privileged treatment.
Interestingly the link ( to a post on .org forum ) that I posted in the previous message was spoiled by the forum software. Anyway

The Impostor Phenomenon
The Impostor Phenomenon was identified from clinical observations during
therapeutic sessions with high achieving women by Dr Pauline Clance.
Despite objective evidence of success, these women had a pervasive
psychological experience believing that they were intellectual frauds and
feared being recognised as impostors. They suffered from anxiety, fear of
failure and dissatisfaction with life. This article reviews definitions and
characteristics of trait Impostorism, some antecedents, such as personality
and family achievement environment and psychological distress as a
consequence of Impostorism.

The knowledge presented in this thread may justify a hypothesis that what they call an Impostor Syndrome is in reality conscience.
