I went to the wikipedia link as directed in preparation for Glen Gatin's session. It is a list of cognitive biases:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases
And, an impressive list it is!
Here are two I admit to:
planning fallacy: yes, I often underestimate the time it will take to complete a project.
reactance (the urge to do the opposite of what someone tells you): I admit mostly to the urge, since I'm also someone who at least thinks I challenge my urges and step back from the action if the reason is simply to assert my independence. But, I confess to sometimes giving in to that urge to make such an assertion.
