The Dunning-Kruger effect on believers and non-believers. [View all]
Where do you look when there are no experts in the field?
Judging yourself with the Dunning-Kruger effect
“One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision.”–
BertranRussell
...whether you’re an artist, writer, musician or just a student trying to improve your grades, being self-aware enough to realise the DK effect can help you accelerate your progress in your field.
An easy way to counter the DK effect is to first drop any inflated value of self worth. Bring yourself down to ground zero, where you see yourself as someone with no skill. Then, ideally, get feedback from your peers as well as experts in the field.
Even after these steps, you might still find yourself unwilling to take the criticism that others have given you. Don’t. If there’s anything the DK effect should leave you with, is breaking down your perception of your own skill and taking a more humble approach results in better long term effects....
