At Bump, we tried to measure candidates’ “Ratio” = (how capable they think they are)/(how capable they actually are). Best people ended up around 1.1-1.2.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1269593235741081601 …

What an interesting idea. I suspect the optimal ratio would be higher for startup founders. I bet also that it decreases with age.

i'd argue that it might increase with age. they'd know what to do and how to do it. they'd also filter the work and interactions better to achieve success. that is of course if they don't have anything else going on in their lives and assuming that they have a will made of steel.

Your argument is for the increase of the denominator thus decrease of the ratio. I'd argue some people increase in cockyness after some luck or belief in their 'expertise'.

It decreases with age on account of base effect, or the waning of ability?

One of the exceedingly rare compliments I’ll grant Trump is that his deep ignorance lets him believe that the otherwise outrageous is actually possible, and then reframe the conversation so at least part of it happens.
