8 misunderstandings about me

1) Memory Illusion: It refers to the illusion of one’s memory level. When asked how many times they could memorize 15 random numbers in sequence, more than 40 percent said they would guess 10 or more, but only 1 percent actually guessed 10 or more. Studies show that about 70 percent of misjudgments revealed by DNA testing are due to eyewitness misrepresentations.

2) Naive realism: It refers to naively believing that one sees the world properly. As a result of the experiment, only 5% of women’s restrooms in supermarkets, hotels, and restaurants use the first toilet. Because people thought that the first compartment would be dirtier than the second and third because people would go there more often. But the first column had the least number of people.

3) Post-interpretation bias: It refers to thinking that ‘I knew I would’ after something happened even though I didn’t know it well before it happened. When a major accident or major disaster occurs, the number of people who thought it would happen suddenly increases. When the test results come out, they say, “I knew I would.” Not even a word was said before it happened.

4) Planning Error: It refers to an overestimation of one’s ability to execute. Need more explanation? Let’s recall the plans they made at the beginning of the year. How long have you practiced it?

5) Emotion Prediction Error: It refers to mispredicting one’s future emotions. There are many people who think that if they pass Seoul National University and win the lottery, they will be happy for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, humans adapt to situations faster than you think. Happiness doesn’t last long. Of course, this is also a blessing. There are many times when time can solve extreme sadness. The world won’t collapse just because you failed the test.

6) Above-average effect: Refers to what one considers to be above average in any item. Most people consider themselves to be above average in their effort in studies and work. Who the hell is the average…

7) Confirmation bias: The tendency to look only for evidence that supports one’s initial claim. A meta-analysis of 91 cases found that people were more than twice as likely to choose information that supported their opinion than to choose information that disproved them. People only see what they want to see. Of course, that would get you farther and farther away from solving the problem.

8) Availability bias: Exaggerating my contribution. When it comes to team projects, most people inflate their contributions. Good teamwork cannot last if it is buried in the availability bias.
