Summary
This article by The Decision Lab explains the Dunning-Kruger Effect, which occurs when a person’s lack of knowledge and skills in a certain area causes them to overestimate their own competence. By contrast, this effect also causes those who excel in a given area to think the task is simple for everyone, and underestimate their relative abilities as well. The article covers the following topics:
- Where this bias occurs
- Individual effects
- Systemic effects
- Why it happens
- Why it is important
- How to avoid it
- How it all started
It also includes two real-world examples of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
