Dunning-Kruger Effect

This flowchart illustrates the Dunning-Kruger Effect, a cognitive bias where individuals with low ability at a task overestimate their competence. It outlines stages such as the 'Peak of Ignorance' and the 'Valley of Despair,' highlighting the journey from ignorance to mastery. The chart also identifies zones like the 'Confidence Collapse Zone' and 'Confidence Rebuilding Zone,' mapping the relationship between knowledge, experience, and confidence levels. It serves as a visual guide to understanding how one's self-awareness and competence evolve, eventually leading to wisdom and mastery, represented by the 'Slope of Enlightenment' and the 'Humble Plain.'
