This one is in the same vein as "I did it, it is good" page.

Here’s another very strong human behavior about cognitive bias. What can I say… I have a strong interest in psychology.

​

The shared video below is to help you to recognize "experts" and "expert wannabes" also known as "big confident talkers with poor knowledge"

​

At my audio debut, I was 100% guilty of being the perfect example of the Dunning Kruger effect. I was the "know it all audio guy". Yet, I was just scratching the surface without even knowing it.

​

The best way to know if you have an "expert" or a "novice” disguised as an expert talking to you, is to simply ask them questions.

The more specific the question, the quicker you’ll be able to figure it out.

• If the answers are simplistic, confident, and direct, the odds are it’s a novice (or an aggressive salesperson).

• If the answers are complex and detailed, bringing "compromise" into the equation, this may suggest you’re interacting with an expert. However, you’ll still have to verify if he's reciting from actual knowledge, or simply repeating a script or a product brochure from memory.

• In audio, like politics, is all about trade-offs, and clean-cut answers are always suspicious.

• The ability to answer "I don't know" reveals a truthful and honest person. There’s nothing worse than a “know it all". I immensely respect people having the ability and modesty to say "I don't know".

​

Just think of any Unites States President you’ve listened to, and then decide if he's a Dunning Kruger effect candidate about evaluating his own professional abilities.
