Accuracy of Self-Estimated Abilities and the Relationship between Self-Estimated Abilities and Realism for Women.
Betsworth, Deborah G.
Journal of Career Assessment, v7 n1 p35-43 Win 1999

They were significantly more likely to underestimate their general learning, verbal, and spatial ability; form perception; and motor coordination. This tendency was related to the realism of their occupational choice. (SK)
