Over-Inflated Self Assessment

I got triggered late last week to look at my own opinion of myself as I was tempted to respond to a few questions generally about self-promotion. I remember the gist of a phrase about letting others speak your worth is worth ten times you speaking your own. I decided to not go to adamantly down that path and ended up rambling about a research article I  was presented on ignorance and self assessment. I don't want to be ignorant. I certainly don't want to be accused of it, but the former would be the greater of two worses.
