deelaundryOne awesome thing to come of SurveyFail (besides the reconfirmation that there are some amazingly bright and talented people in fandom) is that it has led me to this research paper:
“Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments” (1999, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Vol. 77, No. 6., p. 1121-1134).
"The authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability."
LOLOLOLOLOL So true.
This underscores the need for humility, for realizing and accepting that there's more out there that you don't know than you do know.
Y'all will always keep me honest on that, right? *hugs*
