The six most damaging biases:
- confirmation bias - the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses
- fundamental attribution error -t he tendency to believe that what people do reflects who they are
- the bias blind spot - the feeling that one is less biased than the average person
- the anchoring effect - an individual relies too heavily on an initial piece of information offered (considered to be the "anchor") when making decisions
- the representativeness heuristic - assessing similarity of objects and organizing them based around the category prototype (e.g., like goes with like, and causes and effects should resemble each other)
- projection bias - the assumption that everybody else’s thinking is the same as one’s own
