“…In other words, sex differences in self and others-estimates of general and multiple intelligences could be explained in terms of hubris effect among males and humility effect among females. This result has been confirmed in many previous studies (Furnham & Fukumoto, 2008;Furnham & Ward, 2001;Kaufman, 2012;Storek, 2011).…”

“…Firstly, that sex differences do not emerge only from overestimations of males self-estimates, but also from females underestimations of self-estimates. Kaufman (2012) interprets this finding as reflecting a lack of self-awareness or metacognition among females. In other words, sex differences in self and others-estimates of general and multiple intelligences could be explained in terms of hubris effect among males and humility effect among females.…”

Abstract:The current study aimed at exploring self and spouse estimates of general and multiple intelligences among a sample of married Jordanian Students. Two-hundred and ten participants, recruited from Yarmouk and Al-Balqaa Universities, Jordan, completed a brief questionnaire based on those used in previous research which included an estimation of general IQ and each of the multiple intelligence sub-types. Results of the study partially replicated the results from other multiple intelligence self-estimate studies showing sex differences on general and logical intelligences, and confirmed previous research results that estimated verbal (linguistic) intelligence followed by numerical (logical) intelligence are the best significant predictors of estimated general intelligence. These results were discussed in terms of sex and cultural differences and some recommendations were made.

“…Therefore it was predicted that males would have a significantly higher total scores than females in all sample (H5) and that Males would score significantly higher on Science (H6) and Sport (H7) but lower on Fashion (H8) Estimated and Actual Intelligence: Self-estimated intelligence (SEI) is a topic of considerable current interest (Kaufman, 2012). This area has received various important reviews (Freund & Kasten, 2012).…”

“…Two meta-analyses reported that IQ scores correlated at about .30 with SEI (Freund & Kasten, 2012;Mabe & West, 1982), suggesting that people have some insight into the rank-order of their IQ score compared with others. At the same time, however, people generally overestimate their IQ with SEI scores being typically 1 Standard Deviation (SD; i.e., 115) above people's actual IQ test scores (i.e., 100; Kaufman, 2012). The above-average-effect is thought to result from people's need to maintain optimistic self-judgements to lead a productive, happy life in a sometimes uncaring world (Dunning et al, 1989).…”

Intelligence, gender, and assessment method affect the accuracy of self‐estimated intelligence

Self-estimates of intelligence (SEI), which influence to what extent people engage in and how well they perform at a task, are subject to distortion. Here, the distortion effects of individual differences in intelligence (IQ), gender, and proximal (with reference to test performance) and distal (with reference to IQ score distributions) assessments of SEI were tested in a sample of 200 British adults. The results showed that (1) people with lower IQ misestimated their SEI to a greater extent than people with high IQ; (2) this effect was more pronounced in distal than proximal measures of SEI; (3) SEI means did not differ significantly across gender but the IQ-related level of SEI distortion did; (4) this effect was greater for distal than proximal measurement; and (5) proximal SEI were on average less distorted than distal SEI scores and also correlated more closely with IQ. Overall, the findings suggest that the distal SEI assessment method resulted in greater gender- and IQ-related distortions of SEI.
