Interestingly, almost 80 % of participants rated their intelligence as above average, with males reporting significantly higher self-estimated intelligence scores than females. However, we found no significant relationship between self-estimated intelligence and ICAR-16 scores. These results suggest that there may be a discrepancy between our perceived intelligence and our actual cognitive ability, or that we may have a fallacious understanding of our intelligence levels.

      Yes, I’ve read the Wikipedia article. That sentence is a little misleading, as the original study was arguably about both.

      The initial study by David Dunning and Justin Kruger examined the performance and self-assessment of undergraduate students in the fields of inductive, deductive, and abductive logical reasoning, English grammar, and appreciation of humor.

      Edit: …with the reasoning tests being a crude proxy for intelligence.

      Note that I was careful not to mention intelligence in my original post either.
