News of the Day

Wits call it the "Lake Wobegon effect" after the famous fictional town where, contrary to mathematical law, "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and the children are all above average."
Whichever name you prefer, evidence for the effect is ample and wide-ranging. Studies show people generally overestimate everything from their intelligence to their leadership skills to their driving ability.
This research should nudge us toward greater humility in general. But new science suggests there is one big exception, an area where we tend to seriously underestimate our abilities. And the socially anxious entrepreneurs out there are really going to appreciate it.
