The Dunning-Kruger effect, which can also be described as ignorance of ignorance, manifests in people whose lack of knowledge leads them to make mistakes while also preventing them to realize that they are making mistakes while those who are more intelligent are more aware of their shortcomings or limitations. In short, accepting the fact that you don’t know what you don’t know and not overestimating your capability is a sign of higher intelligence, as this allows you to absorb knowledge. People who overestimate themselves tend to project or expect better results in a test, for example, while those who are more confident and aware of their capability tend to underestimate their results.
