Insufficient Ambitions and Ignorant Courage

psychologists at Cornell University of New York, USA; Below is an article by Justin Kruger and David Dunning, published in the December 1999 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, which received the Nobel Prize in 2000. Look how well they have explained what the "Ignorant Courage" has been emphasized by Turkish culture for centuries.

Dunning-Kruger Effect; It is a very interesting cognitive trend that has been described by Justin Kruger and David Dunning, two psychologists at Cornell University. To summarize briefly: Incompetent people do not have the capacity to understand the wrong conclusions and unfortunate choices they reach.

Summarizing the theories that made the history of psychologists Justin Kruger and David Dunning, he says, "ignorance, unlike true knowledge, increases one&39;s self-confidence."

As a result, the following findings were reached:

-Unqualified people do not realize how unqualified they are.

-Unqualified people tend to exaggerate their qualifications.

-Unqualified people are also incapable of seeing and understanding the qualities of truly qualified people.

- If their qualifications are increased with a certain education, the same unqualified people begin to realize their lack of qualifications.

Evaluation weakness:

The two experts then had the opportunity to test their theory. They gave a test to 45 students from Cornell University, asking a variety of questions. They then asked students to "estimate how successful they would be at the end of the test."

It turned out that the most unsuccessful (i.e. only 10 percent or less correct answers) believed they had answered 60 percent of the test correctly, plus they could have reached the 70 percent if they had a good day.

The best (ie those who got at least 90 percent correct answers) were found to be the most humble subjects (who thought they answered 70 percent of the questions correctly).

The employee is incapable of assessing his own capacity and diagnosing his deficiency. But the worst thing is that this cocktail of "incompetence + arrogance" creates an irresistible professional thrust. Turning from a minus to a plus in terms of career.

The "incompetent", who wholeheartedly believes that he is very good at his job, will not feel the slightest discomfort from praising himself and what he has done, standing out in every job, and assuming unlimited duties. On the contrary, he will see it as a "right".

Meanwhile, truly knowledgeable and talented people, on the other hand, will be "too modest" in their working life to be unfair to themselves, won&39;t stand out, don&39;t spontaneously aspire to high posts, expect their worth to be recognized (and, when not known, they&39;ll be suffocated and pulled back even further) and possibly by their superiors. will be accused of "lack of passion".

After all, "incompetent enthusiasts" will always and everywhere rise faster and rise higher.
