The Dunning-Krueger effect - "People with low qualification make the wrong conclusions and fail decisions, but they are unable to realize their mistakes because of their low qualification."
Failure to understand mistakes leads to a belief in one's own right, and therefore, an increase in self-confidence and an awareness of one's superiority. Thus, the Dunning-Krueger effect is a psychological paradox that we all often encounter in our lives: less competent people consider themselves professionals, and more competent people tend to doubt themselves and their abilities.
The starting point of their research Dunning and Kruger named Charles Darwin's famous statements:
"Ignorance is more likely to give birth to confidence than knowledge" and Bertran Russell: "One of the unpleasant qualities of our time is that those who are confident are stupid, and those who have any imagination and understanding are full of doubt and indecision."
