  Driver’s account is sometimes called an ‘ignorance’ account and other times an ‘underestimation’ account as the modest person need not be completely ignorant of their own good qualities, just underestimate them. As she points out (1999, 828), this need not require a low estimation as one can underestimate a good quality while still thinking it pretty good overall. The modest person, on this account, is someone who wrongly believes that they are not as good as they really are in some respect. This is taken to explain the key features of modesty: it is a dependent virtue since there is another quality one is ignorant of, it is not purely behavioral so allows for false modesty, and it recognizes self-attribution strangeness, since modesty itself is a good quality.
