I think the ability is to base one's judgement on the correct cues. If intelligent people know or use the cute better, they should better at judging themselves and others. We should Test this. And also consider biases in both self and other perception

Sure, but the logic underlying the DK claim is that If you are intelligent you have an easier time spotting intelligence. I can See no reason why this logic should only apply to self judgements. But typical alternative explanations Like Regression to the mean don't apply here

Thanks, Glad you Like it! It also Shows that you nees a Lot of Stimuli in Order to get reliable assessments

This aligns with the general Dunning–Kruger argument that being intelligent facilitates the detection of intelligence.

The good judge of intelligence Accurately judging others' intelligence is important, yet little is known about individual differences in this ability. In this study we investigated …

New paper out:
Some people are systematically better at judging others’ intelligence.
Who are the best judges? People WHO are intelligent themselves, have good emotion-perception ability, and who are high in well-being.
