Interesting Facts:
The Dunning-Kruger effect was first identified in a 1999 study by Cornell University #psychologists.
This cognitive bias can affect all areas of life, from academic and professional environments to social and political arenas.
Even expert professionals can experience the Dunning-Kruger effect in areas outside their field of expertise.
Overcoming this #bias requires continuous learning and self-awareness.
An interesting characteristic of the Dunning-Kruger effect is that those suffering from it lack the self-awareness to realize their mistakes.
It's been argued that the Dunning-Kruger effect is linked to the idiom "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing".
The first phase of the Dunning-Kruger effect is often called "Mt. Stupid", where confidence is disproportionately high.
