(Common) Types of Biases

<aside>

Cognitive Bias

Cognitive biases can generally be described as systematic and universally occurring tendencies, inclinations, or dispositions that skew or distort information processes in ways that make their outcome inaccurate, suboptimal or simply wrong

Anchoring Bias

Anchoring bias is a pervasive cognitive bias that causes us to rely too heavily on information that we received early on in the decision making process. Because we use this “anchoring” information as a point of reference, our perception of the situation can become skewed.
