Thinking Gets Us Into Trouble Because We Often:

jump to conclusions fail to think-through implications lose track of their goal are unrealistic focus on the trivial fail to notice contradictions accept inaccurate information ask vague questions give vague answers ask loaded questions ask irrelevant questions confuse questions of different types answer questions we are not competent to answer come to conclusions based on inaccurate or irrelevant information ignore information that does not support our view make inferences not justified by our experience distort data and state it inaccurately fail to notice the inferences we make come to unreasonable conclusions	fail to notice our assumptions often make unjustified assumptions miss key ideas use irrelevant ideas form confused ideas form superficial concepts misuse words ignore relevant viewpoints cannot see issues from points of view other than our own confuse issues of different types are unaware of our prejudices think narrowly think imprecisely think illogically think one-sidedly think simplistically think hypocritically think superficially think ethnocentrically think egocentrically think irrationally do poor problem solving make poor decisions are poor communicators
