My job has a lot to do with understanding where people is right or wrong on something and make the most of it (Seth Godin says it's about understanding worldviews).
So you can understand why this brilliant post about 26 reasons what you think is right is wrong got me really interested.
My top 4:
4. Confirmation bias - the tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one’s preconceptions.
7. Déformation professionnelle - the tendency to look at things according to the conventions of one’s own profession, forgetting any broader point of view.
18. Omission bias - The tendency to judge harmful actions as worse, or less moral, than equally harmful omissions (inactions).
25. Von Restorff effect - the tendency for an item that “stands out like a sore thumb” to be more likely to be remembered than other items.
Me? I tend to speak my mind.
That's why I'm wrong most of the time.
Next time you hear me telling bullshits, please let me know (I'll appreciate if you'll also tell me which cognitive bias I'm operating).
