Is there a global confidence index or something?There was a recent study in which students from several countries were asked about their math abilities and then given a math test. US students ranked near (or at) the top on the ranking of self-perceived excellence in math. They ranked near the bottom on actual math test scores. I believe there have been some similar studies published, as well. I don't have time to track down the references right now (staff meeting sucked up a big chunk of my daily allotted goofing off time for today), but they are probably not hard to find.
