Self-Perception

Self-perception is how you rate your own ability at a skill. Kompunik treats it as a weak signal, because what people believe about a skill often differs from how they actually behave.

Self-perception is your own rating of how good you are at a skill. It matters — but it is also the layer most distorted by bias, mood, and the Dunning-Kruger effect, where the least skilled often rate themselves highest.

Its role in your Kompunik score

Kompunik deliberately gives self-perception a low weight. It still contributes to your score, but real behaviour and instinctive responses count for more, so a flattering self-image can't inflate your result on its own.
