Information about Four Stages Of Competence

In psychology, the four stages of competence relate to the psychological states involved in the process of progressing from incompetence to competence in a skill:
  1. ; Unconscious incompetence:
  2. : The individual neither understands or knows how to do something, nor recognizes the deficit or has a desire to address it.
  3. : See also : Dunning-Kruger effect
  4. ; Conscious incompetence:
  5. : Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, he or she does recognize the deficit, without yet addressing it.
  6. ; Conscious competence:
  7. : The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires a great deal of consciousness or concentration.
  8. ; Unconscious competence:
  9. : The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it becomes "second nature" and can be performed easily (often without concentrating too deeply). He or she can also teach it to others.
