[Cherry Cola]

can you draw mine in ms paint?

Her name is Hermatri Archione

Conservatism (Bayesian)
Empathy gap
Exaggerated expectation
Illusion of control
Identifiable victim effect

 

[Perfectly Normal Beast]

worst super hero ever :

• Self-serving bias – perceiving oneself responsible for desirable outcomes but not responsible for undesirable ones.
• Egocentric bias – occurs when people claim more responsibility for themselves for the results of a joint action than an outside observer would credit them.
• Dunning–Kruger effect an effect in which incompetent people fail to realise they are incompetent because they lack the skill to distinguish between competence and incompetence.
• Illusory superiority – overestimating one's desirable qualities, and underestimating undesirable qualities, relative to other people
• Survivorship bias – concentrating on the people or things that "survived" some process and inadvertently overlooking those that didn't because of their lack of visibility.

 

[Brontosaurie]

hahaha awesome

feel free to name them aswell!

Carry Cola: i'll do that later

 

[Brontosaurie]

here is mine. he's called the Schizotype Sloth or the Tectonic Truism

Backfire effect – when people react to disconfirming evidence by strengthening their beliefs.[15]
Clustering illusion – the tendency to over-expect small runs, streaks, or clusters in large samples of random data (that is, seeing phantom patterns).[10]
Essentialism – categorizing people and things according to their essential nature, in spite of variations.[33]
Hindsight bias – sometimes called the "I-knew-it-all-along" effect, the tendency to see past events as being predictable[41] at the time those events happened.
Omission bias – the tendency to judge harmful actions as worse, or less moral, than equally harmful omissions (inactions).[53]

 

[Perfectly Normal Beast]

MBTI Man :

• Forer effect or Barnum effect – the observation that individuals will give high accuracy ratings to descriptions of their personality that supposedly are tailored specifically for them, but are in fact vague and general enough to apply to a wide range of people. This effect can provide a partial explanation for the widespread acceptance of some beliefs and practices, such as astrology, fortune telling, graphology, and some types of personality tests.
• Confirmation bias – the tendency to search for, interpret and remember information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions.
• Experimenter's or expectation bias – the tendency for experimenters to believe, certify, and publish data that agree with their expectations for the outcome of an experiment, and to disbelieve, discard, or downgrade the corresponding weightings for data that appear to conflict with those expectations.
• Overconfidence effect – excessive confidence in one's own answers to questions. For example, for certain types of questions, answers that people rate as "99% certain" turn out to be wrong 40% of the time
• Selective perception – the tendency for expectations to affect perception.

 

[Brontosaurie]

haha he's called Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Man

one hell of a catchy name

America Man?

 

[Cognisant]

I get the impression this would be far better for creating super villains.

Everything we do we do do because we think it's the right thing to do, or somehow fair, except that "right" and "fair" are very ambiguous concepts, what one person might call justice another would call a crime and they might both be right but just seeing things from different perspectives.

That's where the really interesting hero/villain relationships are, to use a classic example imagine Joker and Batman, from a certain anarchistic perspective Joker is a hero that reminds people what freedom really is

 

[Perfectly Normal Beast]

How dare they!

It's heresy!

America Man?

Ha cool, i also like Western Man.


Brontosaurie draw a comic!



Highly Suggestible Man

• Osborn effect – that being intoxicated with a mind-altering substance makes it harder to retrieve motor patterns from the Basal Ganglion.
• Misinformation effect – that misinformation affects people's reports of their own memory.
• Pareidolia – a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) is perceived as significant, e.g., seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, and hearing non-existent hidden messages on records played in reverse.
• Framing effect – drawing different conclusions from the same information, depending on how or by whom that information is presented.
• Illusion-of-truth effect – that people are more likely to identify as true statements those they have previously heard (even if they cannot consciously remember having heard them), regardless of the actual validity of the statement. In other words, a person is more likely to believe a familiar statement than an unfamiliar one.
