Common cognitive biases
- The Dunning-Kruger Effect: You believe that you're smarter or more skilled than you are, which prevents you from admitting your limitations and weaknesses.
- Confirmation Bias: When you welcome information that you agree with while disregarding evidence that doesn't suit you — even if it's accurate.
- Self-Serving Bias: When you blame external forces when things are bad, but credit yourself when it's good.
- Optimism Bias: You believe you are more successful than others and won't experience any misfortune.
- Availability Heuristic: You believe that whatever comes to your mind quickly is the right decision.
- Attentional Bias: You only focus on some points while ignoring other aspects.
- False Consensus Effect: When you overestimate how much others will agree with you.
- Misinformation Effect: Your memory has been interfered with, changing how you recall past events.
