How much do our partners, close friends, and acquaintances know about our abilities, as compared to ourselves? This registered report aimed to investigate asymmetries in these perspectives’ knowledge of a person’s verbal, numerical, and spatial intelligence, creativity, and intra- and interpersonal emotional abilities. We collected self-estimates and performance measures of these abilities from 238 targets. Each target’s abilities were also rated by their romantic partner, a close friend, and an acquaintance. Results showed knowledge-asymmetries but also similarities between perspectives. People themselves were at least moderately accurate across all six domains. However, partners achieved similar accuracy and both partners and friends could provide unique insights into some abilities. We discuss these results with regard to Vazire’s self-other knowledge asymmetry model.

与我们相比，我们的合作伙伴、密友和熟人对我们的能力了解多少？这份注册报告旨在调查这些观点对一个人的语言、数字和空间智力、创造力以及内部和人际情感能力的了解的不对称性。我们从 238 个目标中收集了对这些能力的自我评估和绩效衡量。每个目标的能力也由他们的浪漫伴侣、密友和熟人进行评分。结果显示知识不对称，但观点之间也有相似之处。人们自己在所有六个领域中至少是适度准确的。但是，合作伙伴的准确性相似，合作伙伴和朋友都可以对某些能力提供独特的见解。
