twilightsense rated 15 months ago- From the page: "Choice-supportive bias â€" the tendency to remember one's choices as better than they actually were."

- Lovely lot of discrimatary tags you can apply to others opinions-Better than basic one-up-manship. miracle anything comes through even semi -objective.

- hmm... interesting From the page: * Bandwagon effect -- the tendency to do (or believe) things because many other people do (or believe) the same. Related to groupthink, herd behaviour, and manias. * Bias blind spot -- the tendency not to compensate for one's own cognitive biases. * Choice-supportive bias -- the tendency to remember one's choices as better than they actually were. * Confirmation bias -- the tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions. * Congruence bias -- the tendency to test hypotheses exclusively through direct testing, in contrast to tests of possible alternative hypotheses. * Contrast effect -- the enhancement or diminishment of a weight or other measurement when compared with recently observed contrasting object. * Déformation professionnelle -- the tendency to look at things according to the conventions of one's own profession, forgetting any broader point of view. * Endowment effect -- "the fact that people often demand much more to give up an object than they would be willing to pay to acquire it".[1] * Focusing effect -- prediction bias occurring when people place too much importance on one aspect of an event; causes error in accurately predicting the utility of a future outcome. * Hyperbolic discounting -- the tendency for people to have a stronger preference for more immediate payoffs relative to later payoffs, the closer to the present both payoffs are. * Illusion of control -- the tendency for human beings to believe they can control or at least influence outcomes that they clearly cannot. * Impact bias -- the tendency for people to overestimate the length or the intensity of the impact of future feeling states. * Information bias -- the tendency to seek information even when it cannot affect action. * Loss aversion -- "the disutility of giving up an object is greater than the utility associated with acquiring it".[2] (see also sunk cost effects and Endowment effect). * Neglect of probability -- the tendency to completely disregard probability when making a decision under uncertainty. * Mere exposure effect -- the tendency for people to express undue liking for things merely because they are familiar with them. * Omission bias -- The tendency to judge harmful actions as worse, or less moral, than equally harmful omissions (inactions). * Outcome bias -- the tendency to judge a decision by its eventual outcome instead of based on the quality of the decision at the time it was made. * Planning fallacy -- the tendency to underestimate task-completion times. * Post-purchase rationalization -- the tendency to persuade oneself through rational argument that a purchase was a good value. * Pseudocertainty effect -- the tendency to make risk-averse choices if the expected outcome is positive, but make risk-seeking choices to avoid negative outcomes. * Reactance - the urge to do the opposite of what someone wants you to do out of a need to reassert a perceived attempt to constrain your freedom of choice. * Selective perception -- the tendency for expectations to affect perception. * Status quo bias -- the tendency for people to like things to stay relatively the same (see also Loss aversion and Endowment effect).[3] * Von Restorff effect -- the tendency for an item that "stands out like a sore thumb" to be more likely to be remembered than other items. * Zero-risk bias -- preference for reducing a small risk to zero over a greater reduction in a larger risk.

- It is amazing how often and how easy human brain is biased. After reading this (scientific) list you will never trust your beliefs the way you did until now.

- We should read this each time we're posting in a political forum or discussion.

- Love Wikipedia. Though this one is essentially just a list of links to the different cognitive biases covered in Wikipedia.

List of cognitive biases from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cognitive bias is distortion in the way humans perceive reality (see also cognitive distortion). See also the list of thinking-related topic lists. Some of these have been verified empirically in the field of psychology, others are considered general categories of bias.
Oh yeah...
Decision-making and behavioral biases
Biases in probability and belief
Social biases
Damn these biases! And so many are incognito
