Self-rated performance predicts objective performance over and above other-rated performance
the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
confidence 9/100
Evidence does not support the idea that self-rated performance predicts objective performance better than other-rated performance; in fact, literature frequently demonstrates that informant and peer ratings are more strongly correlated with objective outcomes due to self-assessment biases.
