Can you spot these Cognitive Biases? [9 scenarios, Quiz]

Wrong, it's choice overload. When we are presented with too many options, our brains can't process all the information and we end up making no decision at all, or default to something very familiar.

Wrong, it's the confirmation bias. We seek out information that confirms our beliefs instead and dismiss information that challenges the beliefs.

Wrong, it's the survivorship bias. We fail to acknowledge the failure stories who do exactly what the success stories say. If 1 person became a millionaire with some specific habits, there will be a 100 who did not. We then wrongly believe we can succeed with those habits.

Wrong, it's the effort heuristic. We tend to value things based on the effort required to acquire them. So travelling a lot is the effort that determines the value of the food, even if the food is mediocre.

But, the food could also be genuinely beautiful, so the bias is very contextual.

Wrong, it's change blindness. Change blindness is a failure to perceive an obvious change that has occurred in your environment.

Wrong, it's the egocentric bias. We tend to take credit for our successes and blame others for our failures.

Wrong, it's the sunk cost fallacy. We tend to put effort into something that is no longer giving us any reward just because we've already put in a lot of effort.

Wrong, it's the frequency illusion. We start to notice something more often after we first learn of it.

Wrong, it's the peak-end-rule. We remember the last moments of an experience and the highs or lows, but forget the boring mundane moments that generally determine our overall experience.
