From WIKI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases)
How many of these things describe you and which ones?
As soon as I read it, the first thing I thought of was this place.

Is this to be a show and tell all? Is there a prize awarded afterward for honesty and dedication to detail?

I'm not sharing my darkest secrets with the "group". Shouldn't you be in bed at this hour young man?...opps I mean Doctor Joyce Brothers.
I suffer from extreme loss aversion.
"Neglect of Probability". I tend to believe that the improbable is entirely possible. Sometimes the impossible is possible. As in the case of the Bumblebee. By all the laws of physics, it has been said that Bumblebees should not be able to fly. Which means that something is wrong somewhere because Bumblebees have yet to fall out of the sky.
How come it has omission bias and outcome bias, but not forward bias or reverse bias?
So many decisions and biases--too many for me to choose from! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Like moving to an UMC subdivision and wanting to put up an 85 foot tall tower. Now, according to what I have been taught, reactance greatly reduces the amount of radiated signal from an antenna.
