The perfect explanation for DFT

[RainCaster]

I heard this on NPR yesterday, and it fits the Donald so well. It's called the " Dunning-Kruger effect" It tells the story of how those in the bottom 10th percentile perceive themselves to be far above average in their skill set.

We all know someone who fits this.

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.[1]

As described by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the cognitive bias of illusory superiority results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."[1]
