Dunning-Kruger Effect
I've heard of the Peter Principle, but this effect, named after two Cornell University researchers, hypothesizes that:
- Incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their own level of skill.
- Incompetent individuals fail to recognize genuine skill in others.
- Incompetent individuals fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy.
- If they can be trained to substantially improve their own skill level, these individuals can recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill.
At last I know the name for what ails half the people I meet.
