certain types of bias that frequently hurt effective decision-making:
Confirmation bias -- the tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms preconceptions.
-
Blind spot bias -- being less aware of one's own cognitive biases than those of others.
-
Fundamental attribution error -- over-emphasizing personality-based or character-based effects on behavior.
-
Anchoring bias -- relying too heavily on one trait or one piece of information.
-
Representative bias -- judging the likelihood of a hypothesis by its resemblance to immediately available data.
-
Projection bias -- assuming others share one's current feelings, values or thinking
