  Another type of strong accuracy view appeals to different scales of evaluation. This type of view is defended by Brennan (2007), who attributes it to Adam Smith (see Theory of Moral Sentiments 6.3.22–23; it is also considered and rejected by Sidgwick 1907/1981, 334–5). On this view, modest people evaluate themselves relative to an ideal but evaluate others relative to practical norms. So modest people rightly think of themselves as not very good (compared to an ideal like a saint), and can rightly think of other people as being good (relative to how good most people actually are). Having two scales allows the modest person to make accurate assessments of themselves and others,  albeit with regard to different evaluative standards. (See also  asymmetry accounts  below).
