Intellectual Humility Described

Intellectual Humility can be described as the ability to recognize shortcomings or potential limitations in one’s own point of view. It involves a recognition that no one knows everything, nor does it assume that your current beliefs or level of knowledge is absolutely correct. Think of it as a virtual balance between overvaluing (intellectual arrogance) and undervaluing (intellectual diffidence) one’s beliefs. There seems to be some consensus that intellectual humility necessarily includes recognizing the limits of one’s knowledge and being aware of one’s fallibility. It may be the polar opposite from Dunning-Kruger Syndrome in which individuals believe they know everything about everything and are likely quite infallible.
