]]> Comment on considering overconfidence by Simon Shaw http://almostalwaysthinking.com/2012/04/16/considering-overconfidence/#comment-5516 Tue, 01 May 2012 21:14:15 +0000 http://almostalwaysthinking.com/?p=3840#comment-5516 Hi Gemma,

I hate to be reductive but over-confidence is such a male trait…

Check out the wikipedia page for the Dunning-Kruger effect: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect) –

“The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes.”

Hope all’s good!
