Why Humble People Make Better Decisions

Have you ever noticed how we say that beliefs are something you “hold”? According to new research out of Duke University, the grip you keep on your ideas shapes the way you approach the world. How tightly (or not) you cling to your own opinions is called “intellectual humility” (IH), and it could have a big effect on the decisions you make.

Worth reading in times of "alternative facts"

Lorien Pratt's curator insight, January 21, 2018 7:34 PM

Intellectual humility is the degree to which people recognize that their beliefs might be wrong...and people high in intellectual humility were more attuned to the strength of persuasive arguments than those who were low.  This is part of the "framing" needed for good decision intelligence including voting decisions.

When You Can't Afford to Make a Mistake, This’ll Keep You Sharp

When You Can't Afford to Make a Mistake, This’ll Keep You Sharp | Box of delight | Scoop.it
Peter Baumann suggests that our biases can get a bad rap, but that they’re essential. He sees them as unconscious inclinations that we’ve developed over time, and most of the time, they reflect actual knowledge we’ve acquired about how the world works. They set the frameworks within which we live our lives. Our bias toward feeling safe, for example, keeps us (mostly) out of trouble, while a bias towards certain flavors sets us parameters for selecting the dish we’d like to eat at a restaurant. Of course, our biases are only as intelligent as we are, so occasionally they're pretty stupid.
