Biases, ranked

I love when things work out exactly as I thought they would. I also love when I overestimate my own ability and when I forget what it is like when people do not have as much information on a subject as I have. And when I underestimate how long it is going to take to complete a task - man that's gold.

All of the above are examples of biases, in one form or another. There are so many biases it can be hard to keep them all straight, and to know which biases are better/more interesting than others. Therefore I submit this subjective, unscientific, incomplete, and 100% accurate list of biases, ranked.

Here goes...

10. The Illusion of Control

9. The Dunning-Kruger Effect

8. Planning Fallacy

7. Negativity bias

6. Shared information bias

5. Confirmation bias

4. The Hot-Hand Fallacy

3. Projection bias

2. Availability heuristic

1. Gambler's fallacy

Did I leave some important biases out? Sure.

Did I fail to adequately explain my rankings? Of course.

Might you disagree with the above rankings? Yep. But you would be wrong.

Have a great weekend!
