Random number simulation of the Dunning and Kruger experiments

Overview

The Dunning–Kruger effect suggests that people with low competence in a domain often overestimate their abilities. But do the foundational experiments truly confirm this effect? This app offers a random number simulation challenging those original findings. For a deep dive into the topic, check out my blog post Debunking the Dunning–Kruger effect with random number simulation.
