Why incompetent people think they’re amazing

Wednesday Studio

From the creator:

TED-Ed commissioned us to make a video to accompany their lesson about "The Dunning Kruger effect" by Mr David Dunning. This effect is a cognitive phenomenon wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority. The aim of this film is to help us to discover whether we are as good at things as we think we are.

With sound and music from the talented Tom Drew.
