That sounds a lot like the 4 stages of competence[1].<p>Unconscious Incompetence: You don&#x27;t know that you don&#x27;t know. (I don&#x27;t know how to drive a manual)<p>Conscious Incompetence: You know that you don&#x27;t know, and start learning the skill. (I&#x27;m learning how to drive a manual)<p>Conscious Competence: Your skills have improved and you understand them, but there&#x27;s a lot of manual work involved. (To drive a manual, you do step X, Y, and Z)<p>Unconscious Competence: The skill has been internalized and is automatic. (I know how to drive a manual without thinking about it)<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Four_stages_of_competence" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Four_stages_of_competence</a>
