The Dunning-Kruger Effect

The Dunning-Kruger Effect

in 1999, 2 social psychologist discovered something about intelligent people: they rarely think they're smart. In fact, they often rate themselves at below average. On the other hand, people with low intelligence do the exact opposite: they almost always overestimate they rank by a long shot.

"ignorance is bliss

for example: let's say you re trying to learn how to draw. When you finish your first drawing you're probably going to think you're great at it. But once you practice and realize how much you don't know, you won't think you're very good anymore.

This is why people with low intelligence often rate themselves so highly: they don't understand how little they know.

Dunning And Kruger's Original Experiment

Dunning And Kruger's Original Experiment

It was inspired by a man who, thinking about the fact that lemon juice is used to produce invisible ink, decided to rub lemon on all his skin, in order to rob a bank. He thought he was invisible to the bank's camera.

Which of course was not true. He just had high expectations and a low intelligence, therefore he thought of himself as genius.

My Conclusion

My Conclusion

If you get to know about the Dunning-Kruger effect it is impossible to have low intelligence. It makes no sense, i know, but hear me out.

If you think highly of yourself you will be informed that this means you're not intelligent which leads to not having such a good opinion about yourself, that in the end, judging by this experiment, means that you are actually one of the intelligent people :)

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
