Dunning-Kruger effect

The Dunning-Kruger effect is the tendency of people with low competences in a given field to overestimate their own skills.

Definicja

The Dunning-Kruger effect describes a metacognitive error: to accurately assess one's own competence, one must have at least basic knowledge in a given area. A beginner may not see the complexity of the task and therefore confuses initial understanding with mastery. The phenomenon should not be used as a label to ridicule people, but as a reminder of calibration, feedback and cognitive humility.

Praktyka i życie

For a new skill, compare your self-assessment with an external result: a test, review, measurement or opinion of a more experienced person. Record where the confidence was greater than the result.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is wrong to use effect as an insult. The second mistake is to believe that it only applies to others; anyone can overestimate themselves in an area where they don't yet see the quality criteria.
