An interesting very article about people's positive cognitive bias towards themselves.

How true is this. I do that damn it.

In a third study, in which Pronin queried subjects about what method they used to assess their own biases and those of others, she found that people tend to use general theories of behavior when evaluating others but use introspection when appraising themselves. In what is called the introspection illusion, people do not believe that others can be trusted to do the same: okay for me but not for thee.

I have to remind myself that, in general, I suck more than I think I do.
