Paper Context: We found that the bias blind spot is discriminated from intelligence, cognitive ability, cognitive reflection, and personality traits related to self-esteem, self-enhancement, and self-presentation. Moreover, the bias blind spot does not appear to be a facet of general decision-making ability or an accurate perception of the extent to which one is biased. Rather, susceptibility to the bias blind spot appears to be a true blind spot in self-awareness, because of asymmetric consideration of evidence when assessing the self and other people.
