How we become victims of our own certainty
'If you didn’t understand the contradiction: it’s impossible for more than half the people to be above the average'
This reasoning is a bit faulty. The average and the median of a data are two different things.
Based on other data your conclusion might be correct.
Nice article btw !
That's right- I meant median and not the mathematical average.
There is a gender angle to confidence as well especially in India. Most men are overconfident while most women suffer from the impostor syndrome
