Ten Biases That Distort Your Decision-Making:


1. Self-Serving Bias: We blame our failures on the environment, and attribute our successes to ourselves.
2. Knowledge Curse: Once we know something, we assume everyone else knows it too.
3. Dunning-Kruger Effect: The less you know, the more confident you are. The more you know, the less confident you become.
4. Belief Bias: We judge the strength of an argument not by how well it supports the conclusion, but by how reasonable the conclusion seems in our own minds.
5. Commitment Escalation: We invest more in things we've already spent resources on, rather than changing our course of action, even when facing negative outcomes.
6. Gambler’s Fallacy: We believe that future probabilities are influenced by past events.
7. Zero-Risk Bias: We tend to eliminate small risks entirely, even when alternative options could reduce overall risk more effectively.
8. Outgroup Homogeneity Bias: We see members of external groups as all similar, while our own group members are more diverse.
9. Clustering Illusion: We look for patterns and clusters in random data.
10. Blind Spot Bias: We overlook our own biases in decision-making, but are more likely to see biases in others.
