Abstract
Bias blind spot (BBS) literature often states that individuals, no matter their decision-making skill or cognitive aptitude, will judge themselves as less biased than others. The current study shows that individuals with high decision-making skill show calibration in their perceived levels of BBS which is predicted by statistical numeracy.
