How well do you think you play chess and how well do you think you debate on scale of 1 to 10?
I think I play chess better than the average person, but that is a relative thing. I don't think I am all that good compared to a lot of people on here so I'd give myself a 6 or 7.
I think my debating skills are better than that so I'll give myself a 9.

I think my debating skills are better than that so I'll give myself an 8 or 9.
Chess: 6.5 - Could be an 8 or better, but occasional lack of motivation = inconsistent study and play
Debating: 6 - Could be in the 8-9 range, but don't always think things through before responding.
Overall, about average I guess.
@mchill saidI could be a better chess player as well. I often do not analyze what my opponents next move should be so lack of motivation is my reason too. Maybe lack of competitiveness since I could do something about it. If there was incentive like money for a win I would be more competitive.

That you first make mention of the Dunning-Keuger effect and then immediately go on to give your debating skills a 9, is a sort of unaware self-awareness rarely so nakedly exposed, even in these forums.

@metal-brain saidYour debating skills are inversely proportional to the red number to the right of the thumbs down sign on your posts. 😛

My chess skills are sporadically adequate.
But my acceptance of both actualizations are natural and first rate. 🙂

@metal-brain saidNo sane person would participate in this thread.
Your lack of participation is noted.
Rate yourself highly and people place you on the left of the curve.
Rate yourself lowly and people think that you did it on purpose in order to be seen as more competent than you actually are.
By bringing up the Dunning-Kruger effect, you corrupted your own thread and distorted any potential data.
