The Dunning-Kruger Effect is the phenomenon where people who are less skilled at something tend to overestimate their abilities and people who are more skilled tend to underestimate their abilities.
This is one of the reasons why I think it is very unfair when people ask me in an interview to assess my programming ability.
A lot has been written about the Dunning-Kruger Effect and its role in the climate debate.
