Ten Biases That Eff Up Our Thinking from "The Art of Insubordination" by Todd Kashdan

1. Confirmation bias-We tend to prefer information that matches our existing beliefs.

2. Familiarity bias-We prefer what or who is already known.?

3. Na?ve realism-We tend to believe that we perceive the world objectively, as it is, and that people who disagree with us are uninformed, irrational, or biased.

4. Illusion of knowledge-We think we know what other people are thinking.

5. Fundamental attribution error~We attribute others' mistakes and failings to their identity, but when we screw up, we conveniently blame it on circumstances and bad luck.

6. Self-consistency bias--We tend to think that our attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors are always stable, when in fact they change.

7. Projection bias--We think others tend to share our preferences, beliefs, and behavior more than they actually do.

8. Authority bias-We like ideas better when voiced by someone powerful or prestigious.

9. Stereotyping bias-When we observe a tendency in one member of a group, we assume that some or all fellow group members share it.

10. Bias blind spot-We think we can easily spot biases in others even as we fail to recognize our own.
