概要	Title: An examination of self-inflation in teachers Abstract: This paper presents the findings of a quantitative study that examined the following main research questions: 1) Do EFL teachers generally believe they are better teachers than most of their colleagues? 2) Do EFL teachers, when comparing themselves to their colleagues, rate their teaching skills more highly than skills that are not directly related to teaching? 3) Do EFL teachers think they are less likely than other teachers are to overrate their own teaching ability? This study sought to expand on the research of Jonathan D. Brown, whose findings support the claim that people tend to believe they are more competent than others, especially for characteristics and skills that are important to them. Based upon the survey responses of 98 EFL university teachers in Japan, the answers to the above research questions appear to be yes.
