 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.
