The Dunning–Kruger effect

The  Dunning–Kruger effect   This phrase was new to me when I heard it on a podcast recently. So I consulted google for a definition.  You are not an expert The  Dunning–Kruger effect  is a cognitive bias  manifesting in unskilled individuals suffering from  illusory superiority , mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a  metacognitive  inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude. [ 1 ]
