David Dunning studies social judgment and self-evaluation. With Justin Kruger, he compared actual task scores with people’s estimates of their own performance in the original Dunning-Kruger effect study. The comparison separates measured ability, confidence and relative-rank judgments, making calibration a question for evidence rather than a conclusion from confidence alone. [ref]
