A lot of readers ask in the message, so how do you make a relatively better decision?
I feel that exercising a more logical “anti-intuitive thinking” is a good start.
Knowing that there is a question of more than 10 million browsing: In your profession, what basic knowledge is inconsistent with the understanding of ordinary people?
In the one with a high number of praises, the respondent said that his statistician had cited an example of “Correlationdose not implycausation”. The study showed that the more fire engines fired in the fire, the number of casualties The higher.
This conclusion is exactly the opposite of our intuition. Is there more fire trucks, should the fire not be controlled faster? Why are there more people killed and injured?
But thinking about it can be inferred, because more fire engines mean more serious fires, so the casualties are often more serious.
Because of the brain’s default settings, intuition has become the most commonly used thing in our lives, but it is also the “bringing software” that has evolved over the past millions of years, making us often make mistakes and careless decisions.
Awareness of thinking traps can help us improve the quality of decision making in the workplace and avoid hidden pits.
And often “thinking about it” is a tried and tested way to help you succeed.
