Humans can be poor judges of their own ability. ____1____ Psychologists (心理学家) have found that the less you know about something, the more likely you are to think you’re good at it. 

This concept is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. ____2____ Back in the 90s, they found a correlation between a person’s lack of skills and ability and a lack of awareness of lack of ability. They don’t know about their own limitations. ____3____ For example, Dunning said that, one third of the time, doctors disagree with patients who self-diagnose using internet sources rather than seeing a medical professional. Whether it’s judging jokes, logical reasoning, or grammar, the pattern is the same: the less skilled you are, the more over-confident you are.

On the other side is intellectual humility (智性谦逊). ____4____ Elizabeth J. Krumrei-Mancuso, a psychology professor at Pepperdine University, discovered that being open to recognizing your intellectual limits and accepting different viewpoints is linked to having a better understanding of intelligence.

____5____ Tenelle Porter, a psychologist at Rowan University, said that knowing this “opens us up to being intellectually humble, to admitting everything that we don’t yet know”. And current studies suggest that those with higher intellectual humility are more open to negotiating, compromising and exploring information.

So, welcome the unknown and remember, there’s always more to learn.
