In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein persons of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.
As described by David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the cognitive bias of illusory superiority results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others." Hence, the corollary to the Dunning–Kruger effect indicates that persons of high ability tend to underestimate their relative competence, and erroneously presume that tasks that are easy for them to perform also are easy for other people to perform.
He suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

When someone is bad/stupid/ignorant in a field, and thinks they are great/good/guru/expert. This normally happens due to people not having enough knowledge in that field to even know that they are bad at this field. A great place to find and report these people is at /r/iamverysmart

Just go on Reddit for a minute and you'll see it in action.
Reddit is a scientific experient created to prove the Dunning Kruger Effect
Incompetent people who think they are intelligent, but are actually to incompetent to recognize they are are not.
as outlined in the Cornell research named after the professors who discovered it, the Dunning-Kruger Effect..
" incompetent people will:
tend to overestimate their own level of skill;
fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;
recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they are exposed to training for that skill."
Michelle Bachman has a severe case of Dunning-Kruger Syndrome. If only we have universal healthcare that poor woman could get help.
I know that Vice President Biden shows signs of Anaphylactic Agnitio, but I dont know if i would go as far as to say he has Dunning-Kruger Syndrome.
