Dunning-Kruger Effect
Dunning-Kruger Effect
People with limited ability tend to overestimate themselves, while people with high ability tend to underestimate themselves.
Details
The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias where the less skilled you are, the more you overestimate your abilities, and the more skilled you are, the more you underestimate them.
When you "don't know what you don't know," you feel overconfident — but as you learn more, you begin to realize just how much you still have yet to understand.
Humility can be a sign of growth. Feeling like "there's so much I don't know" actually means you already know quite a lot. — Mindy
💡 Real-Life Example
"Feeling overconfident as a beginner, then becoming more humble the more you learn" — that's the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
