What people are saying

Interest Bias is a type of cognitive bias that occurs when people's preferences or judgments are guided by their particular interests rather than unbiased and objective observations or facts. Interest biases can arise when people are faced with conflicting incentives. These incentives can take many forms, from non-monetary to purely emotional factors. By taking the free Interest Biases quiz, you will gain insights into your own interest biases to help you avoid making impulsive decisions and exercise sound judgment in your everyday life.

What are Cognitive Biases?

Cognitive Biases are unconscious, automatic processes designed to make decision-making faster and more efficient. They can also be thought of as errors in thinking that lead you to misinterpret information from the world around you, affecting the rationality and accuracy of your judgments and decisions. Several factors -- such as heuristics (mental shortcuts), social pressures, and emotions -- incubate cognitive biases.

Awareness of Cognitive Biases

It is essential to be aware of potential biases, include others, and communicate effectively. Assessing your biases is an excellent first step toward bringing your unconscious to your conscious mind. And a comprehensive understanding of your biases will help you improve your judgments, decision-making, fairness, and relationships.
