Most studies show (if you believe in studies) that the dumber you are the smarter you think you are.

That should be taken with a grain of salt. It is a tendency to overestimate competency and ability ig you're a moron or novice and underestimate if you're intelligent or an expert.

A guy making his living in biochemistry might underestimate just how good he is, and still think you're a troglodyte.
