The Trump Effect explained by scientific research.
Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in
Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated
Self-Assessments
Justin KRUGER, David DUNNING
Abstract
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors
suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains
suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices,
but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4 studies, the authors
found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated
their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they
estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive
skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically, improving the skills of participants,
and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them recognize the limitations of their
abilities.

No 'facts' in that article....just a 'toasted' opinion....from an unknown....
