View source for Dunning–Kruger effect

The [[Dunning–Kruger effect]] is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect&oldid=1157992565</ref>
