What are some common mistakes people make and how can I identify what I'm doing wrong?

Confirmation bias: People often seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs and ignore contradictory evidence.

This can lead to flawed decision-making.

Anchoring effect: Initial information or a reference point heavily influences subsequent judgments, even if the initial information is irrelevant.

Availability heuristic: People tend to judge the likelihood of an event based on how easily they can recall similar events, leading to biased assessments.

Framing effect: The way a choice is presented can significantly impact the decision, even when the underlying options are the same.

Sunk cost fallacy: People often continue to invest time, money, or effort into a losing proposition because of the resources already invested.

Dunning-Kruger effect: Unskilled individuals tend to overestimate their abilities, while skilled individuals often underestimate their competence.

Negativity bias: Humans tend to pay more attention to and remember negative information more than positive information.

Hindsight bias: People often believe that they could have predicted an outcome after the fact, even if they couldn't have predicted it beforehand.

Bandwagon effect: People's decisions and behaviors can be influenced by the actions and beliefs of the people around them.

Overconfidence bias: Individuals often overestimate their knowledge, abilities, and the accuracy of their judgments.

Projection bias: People tend to assume that others share their own beliefs, preferences, and behaviors, leading to misunderstandings.

Choice-supportive bias: People tend to remember their choices as better than they actually were, rationalizing their decisions after the fact.

Recency illusion: The belief that recent events or information are more important or significant than older ones.

Fundamental attribution error: People tend to overemphasize the role of personal factors (like personality or character) in explaining someone's behavior, while underestimating the influence of situational factors.

Blind spot bias: Individuals tend to recognize cognitive biases in others but fail to see them in themselves.

Illusory correlation: People perceive a relationship between two variables even when there is no actual connection.

Information bias: The tendency to seek more information even when it does not affect the decision.

Optimism bias: People tend to be overly optimistic about the likelihood of positive events occurring and underestimating the likelihood of negative events.

Base rate neglect: People often ignore the base rate (the underlying probability of an event) when making judgments, leading to biased assessments.

Conjunction fallacy: The tendency to believe that specific conditions are more probable than general ones, even when the opposite is true.
