Too stupid to know they're stupid.

I have read and seen a similar phenomena regarding driving skills. Some Insurance institute did a study whose results were almost funny. Some 85% of drivers rated themselves "above average". Then they were administered a basic driving test with questions culled from written driving tests nationwide. 60% flunked. As a daily driver, I agree and might even suggest that the actual figures are even worse as some may have passed the test by guessing.
