Self-Confidence and Performance on Tests of Cognitive Abilities.

Stankov, Lazar; Crawford, John D.

Intelligence, v25 n2 p93-109 1997

Individual differences in confidence judgments made by subjects on the accuracy of their answers to psychological test items were studied with 271 Australian college students. Findings suggest that confidence ratings, like the accuracy scores from the tests of human abilities, are stable and reliable measures of between-subjects variability. (SLD)
