Here is a multitude of cognitive biases we are all subject to such as the information bias (the tendency to seek information even when it cannot affect action), false consensus effect (the tendency for people to overestimate the degree to which others agree with them), and the 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).

I stumbled upon this web page using stumbleupon.
