Cognitive Biases Quiz
How Objective Is Your Thinking?
Can you spot 12 common thinking traps? From confirmation bias to sunk cost fallacy — recognize the cognitive biases that shape your everyday decisions.
What Are Cognitive Biases?
Cognitive biases are systematic patterns of deviation from normative rational judgment. Since Kahneman & Tversky's influential research in the 1970s, psychologists have identified over 100 distinct cognitive biases.
Why Do We Have Biases?
The human brain uses two thinking systems:
- System 1: Fast, intuitive, automatic (drives ~95% of daily decisions)
- System 2: Slow, rational, energy-intensive
How to Reduce Bias
1. Awareness — acknowledging your biases is the first step 2. Slow down — give System 2 time to engage 3. Seek disconfirming evidence — fight confirmation bias 4. Use checklists — systematize your decisions
