The blind spots built into thinking
Your brain is a prediction machine that runs on shortcuts. Most of the time those shortcuts are brilliant — they let you decide in a fraction of a second without drowning in detail. But the same shortcuts misfire in predictable ways, and those predictable errors are what psychologists call cognitive biases.
The tricky part is that biases are invisible from the inside. Confirmation bias feels like being right; anchoring feels like a fair estimate; the bandwagon effect feels like common sense. You can’t feel a bias happening, which is why naming your strongest one matters — it tells you which situations deserve a second, slower look. This quiz gives you that starting point, then a concrete way to push back against it.
