Abstract
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically, improving the skills of participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them recognize the limitations of their abilities.
A ovo se savršeno uklapa u činjenicu da plastične operacije na kraju daju, u najmanju ruku, upitan rezultat. Osoba bez nekog ukusa vidi nešto i pomisli kako je baš to ono što joj fali, plati i dobije šta je tražila.
Neko će reći da i barbi-stil (kod nas je to neki JK stil, vulgaran i nametljiv) predstavlja promašaj za većinu djevojaka koja ga 'nosi'. Ima tu i istine.
I meni se čini da je Draco-u trebao neki ventil da se malo izduva povodom svojih osjećanja. Mada mislim da je rezultat vjerovatno loš, niti je ona čula, niti smo mi od kakve pomoći...
