Dibs Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This has likely been mentioned before, but with preseason hysteria at its apex, I have been constantly reminded of it lately on TSW. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect "The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias manifesting in unskilled individuals suffering from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude.[1] David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others".[2]" I am certain that I personally do not suffer from this.....but then again, how would I know? (.....and yes, I am aware of the irony in linking a wiki article for this topic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous Guy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If you’re incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent... the skills you need to produce a right answer are exactly the skills you need to recognize what a right answer is. That's some good stojan right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
