Inflated self-esteem can be decidedly counterproductive.American students, for example, took first place in self-judged mathematical ability in a comparative study of eight countries, but last place in actual mathematical competency.Korean students, in contrast, ranked themselves last in self-judged mathematical skills and took first place in actual mathematical performance.The idea that self-esteem produces better performance, reversing the direction of better performance boosting self-esteem, is clearly a concept that's been oversold.
