3. Psychologists have knows this for years, seriously.

Dunning-Kruger effect:

Dunning and Kruger proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people will:
tend to overestimate their own level of skill;
fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;
recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they are exposed to training for that skill.

Stupid people think they're smart, ugly people think they're hot, and yes, bad people really do think they're good. The flip side is if you're above average in a given area you tend to underestimate your skill or talent - so if you find yourself questioning how good a person you are, you're probably doing pretty well.
