Have you met any person who is unskilled ,incompetent but unaware of that ? or someone who don’t even know enough to realize just how little he know. ? In crude words , A stupid person who not only perform a task stupidly , but lack the stupidness to realize their own stupidity and thus consider themselves much more competent than others . This cognitive bias is known as Dunning–Kruger effect . As Bertrand Russell said "One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision." and Charles R. Darwin said ' Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge " According to effect , for a given skill, self-proclaimed experts or genius will: ~tend to overestimate their own level of skill ~fail to recognize genuine skill in others ~fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy ~recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they can be trained to substantially improve. #psychology #metacognition
