The Dunning and Kruger Effect

There is a phenomenon called "The Dunning and Kruger Effect" in which the least competent people have the highest opinions of themselves while the most intelligent people have many doubts in their pursuit of excellence.

It demonstrates that prideful people are often foolish people, seeing themselves as more talented and intelligent than they are to impress others.

Intelligent people seek after truth and excellence; what others think is not important to them. They are able to evaluate themselves in truth while enjoying improvement. They love learning, improving, and discovering; they must have a measure of humility to admit when improvement is necessary.

Those who are prideful see no need to actually be excellent as long as they think they are and are dedicated to impressing others.

If we are wise we have no need of the approval of others. We do desire to help others through doing the best job we can in support of the efforts of the team.
Arrogant people are not team players; if they are not in charge, they have no interest. If someone is better at something than they are, they will not encourage them, but rather are competitive with those who have a better grasp of things.

Philippians 2:3-4 "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."

Wise people are full of love, caring about the success of others and the team effort. Unwise, arrogant people only care that they come out looking superior or more knowledgeable.

When we take a look at God's love we see who is demonstrating love and who is not.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. 5 It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, 6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8a Love never fails;"
