This is a very worthwhile short video to watch on our self-assessment of how much we know. The so called Dunning-Kruger Effect, named after its authors actually won an Ig Nobel Prize award in how it shows how confident we are in what we think we know.

No doubt this is one of the underlying causes of our debates in audio .

This is a very smart video Amir. :b

* Now, do you have some tests that we can perform to verify/confirm our degree of ignorance, and by the same token our intelligence's level?
Like from real scientific and objective measurements...with graphs. ...And from real scientists with confirmed verification on a concrete level.
Brief; intelligence tests. ...Practical and integral to our world's today, with our brain's capability today. ...In the year 2015.

Well, it starts just like the study in that video. You have to take a test where the answer is known. Write down how well you thought you did and then compare to real results.
