How accurately do design students assess their own creative output compared to the evaluation of industry professionals? To investigate this, a researcher asked eight industrial design interns at a design agency to rate their own creative problem-solving ability over the course of a placement on a scale of 1 (extremely poor) to 100 (exceptional). Their supervising lead designer was then asked to rate each intern's creative problem-solving ability using the same 1 to 100 scale. The results are presented in the table below.
| Intern | Intern's self-rating (1 to 100) | Supervisor's rating (1 to 100) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 85 | 30 |
| B | 75 | 40 |
| C | 90 | 45 |
| D | 40 | 50 |
| E | 80 | 35 |
| F | 30 | 75 |
| G | 95 | 25 |
| H | 70 | 50 |
