'''The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of [[Cognitive biases|cognitive bias]] where individuals with low ability, knowledge, or expertise in a particular domain tend to overestimate their own competence. This occurs because their lack of knowledge prevents them from accurately assessing their own performance or recognizing the abilities of others. On the flip side, individuals who are highly skilled or knowledgeable in a domain often underestimate their own abilities, as they assume others possess similar levels of competence.'''<ref>'''Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments.'''
