You can spot everyone's bias but your own

People consistently rate themselves as less biased than the average person, their own classmates, or strangers at an airport — even right after being taught exactly how a specific bias works. Emily Pronin and colleagues found the blind spot survives its own explanation: knowing about a bias in the abstract doesn't stop you from exempting yourself from it in particular.
