Biased.

This foggy morning headed to Berkeley St to do even MORE group systematic review. Ended up getting a bit stuck on biases of specific studies. Stumbled across this. Pretty funny I reckon. Just selected a few :)
Bandwagon effect – the tendency to do (or believe) things because many other people do (or believe) the same. Related to groupthink and herd behavior.
Outcome bias – the tendency to judge a decision by its eventual outcome instead of based on the quality of the decision at the time it was made.
Von Restorff effect – the tendency for an item that "stands out like a sore thumb" to be more likely to be remembered than other items
Hindsight bias – sometimes called the "I-knew-it-all-along" effect, the tendency to see past events as being predictable.
Optimism bias – the tendency to be over-optimistic about the outcome of planned actions.
Ostrich effect – ignoring an obvious (negative) situation
Halo effect – the tendency for a person's positive or negative traits to "spill over" from one area of their personality to another in others' perceptions of them
Self-serving bias – the tendency to claim more responsibility for successes than failures. It may also manifest itself as a tendency for people to evaluate ambiguous information in a way beneficial to their interests

Never knew there were so many "biases"...

I am nearly graduated with a B. Physio. I have a mole on my right cheek. I'm way too excited to board the A380 to Europe. I made a boys team mixed. I was somewhat black after a month in Vanuatu. I have a grey rabbit. I enjoy cycling, facebook and snacks. I really want to see the Hounslow Harriets. I currently drive a Honda Civic named Taz. I like smiles and laughter.

123 TO A380.
And 63 IELTS!
