  Many theorists have seen modesty as rooted in a special kind of indifference. Typically this is an indifference to praise, the high ranking relative to others, or positive evaluation by others. Schueler (1997), for example, sees modesty as being indifferent to being evaluated highly on the basis of one’s good qualities. Though he assumes that the modest person will have an accurate self-image, this is not entailed by his account. A similar account is given by Arpaly and Schroeder (2014, 245–250) who see being modest as not caring about how you are ranked relative to others. Often, they note, this will have ignorance as a side effect, but what is essential to modesty is a kind of indifference.
