8 Kinds of Workplace Cognitive Bias
Cognitive bias is an error in how people interpret information. When people make mistakes in perceiving the information they gather, they can make incorrect conclusions. In addition, they can use it to mistakenly rationalize, judge, and process the information at hand.
Cognitive biases often occur because the brain tries to simplify the information gathered. They can help you make better sense of your world and make decisions quickly. However, the underlying assumptions can lead to distortions and inaccuracies.
How do you know if you are demonstrating cognitive biases in your workplace? That can be hard to define, given that there are hundreds of different types of bias. However, the following are some key clues that can indicate you are dealing with cognitive bias:
Blaming outside factors when things go wrong
Relying on news sources only that validate your beliefs
Assuming everyone else shares your beliefs or opinions
Believing others’ success is luck and yours is due to your abilities
