Top Six Biases
August 11th, 2018
The six most damaging biases:
- confirmation bias
- fundamental attribution error ( to interpret others’ behaviors as having hostile intent),
- the bias blind spot (the feeling that one is less biased than the average person),
- the anchoring effect (to rely too heavily, or “anchor”, on one trait or piece of information),
- the representativeness heuristic (judging probabilities on the basis of resemblance),
- projection bias (the assumption that everybody else’s thinking is the same as one’s own).
