Psychologists have shown humans are poor judges of their own abilities, from sense of humour to grammar. Those worst at it are the worst judges of all.
You're pretty smart right? Clever, and funny too. Of course you are, just like me. But wouldn't it be terrible if we were mistaken? Psychologists have shown that we are more likely to be blind to our own failings than perhaps we realise. This could explain why some incompetent people are so annoying, and also inject a healthy dose of humility into our own sense of self-regard.

Liberals: Not merely ‘delusions of grandeur’ but delusions of adequecy!
“Participants who were least able to judge what was funny (at least according to the professional comics) were also least able to accurately assess their own ability.”
I wonder if they would find a difference if they compared people from large families to a sample of people who were the only child. I learned as a kid that I have a weird sense of humor. My brothers and sisters would just stare at me while I laughed at my own jokes. Sarcasm makes me laugh (die hard films are a favorite), don’t laugh at the 3 stooges, too empathetic, and hate Seinfeld.

WHEW! I thought it was just me.
But does it work in reverse? The smarter your are the more inept you believe yourself to be?
WHEW! I thought it was just me.
We were just kidding.
The more you know, the more you know what you don’t know.
Damn!
I thought you WERE me!
I’m to stupid to realize how dumb I am.
Well, I know that I am smart enough to know how dumb I really am!

I have a great many accomplishments to be humble about.
True enough. In my case some of the really big ones I'm downright ashamed of!
According to the “Study”, that is easy for you to SAY.
Finally! An explanation for the Democrat Party!!
