There's pretty clearly some corollary of the Dunning-Kruger effect that applies to annoying, irritating, or otherwise unpleasant people.

(Obviously some of the people in those categories are consciously being jerks. On the other hand, there's no reason to think the effect has an exception for social skills.)

One of the weird things to come out of me businessy leadership class is that I seem to be better at soft-skills than I thought.

Or rather the folks running the class and my peers claim my soft skills are better than I think they are.

You are AMAZING at soft skills. You have a double punch of humor and practicality which takes egos out of the way and helps people to laugh at themselves and work together.

Just in case you wanted my completely not-asked for opinion.
