"The bias blind spot is the cognitive bias of failing to compensate for one's own cognitive biases. Pronin and her co-authors explained to subjects the better-than-average effect. According to the better-than-average bias, specifically, people are likely to see themselves as inaccurately "better than average" for possible positive traits and "less than average" for negative traits. When subsequently asked how biased they themselves were, subjects rated themselves as being much less subject to the biases described than the average person." - Simon
