Bias based on person
-
Its something we come across every day We judge a statement more by WHO is saying than WHAT is he saying, i like to define this as person (not personal) biasness if there is no other term already coined for it. Well normally a "person biasness" gives a 70% weight to WHO and 30% to WHAT I think it should be 50/50 percent or may be WHAT should be given more importance then WHO What you guys think ? * if the post would have been by chris, you would have started pondering on it already, thats how i define person biasness , if this doesn't convince you, then I don't know what will

There are also surveys that show that good looking people (male/female) get away with a lot more than other people do :-) And recently someone posted a link where a bunch of 6 month old babies were more attracted by a good looking model than by a normal woman. So even at 6 months, humans tend to appreciate good looks. Interesting, eh?

Universal DBA | Ajax Rating | ExplorerTree | Globalization in 20 minutesMore often than not I'm considered wierd. I usually don't debate it. But it definately colors the way people take the information I offer up. Funny that. Often times the info is correct, and they fail to benefit due to pre-conceived notions. Oh well, mostly they're loss.
This statement is false.

If you deny correct information based on your opinion of the source, then your losing. I say the information, the what is more important. Of course the exception to this rule is the person who lies a lot. But if you just don't agree with the person's style or opinions, then dismissing data based on that opinion is limited and weak.

I saw a program on Discovery channel that says the same thing. I think it was titled "The Science of Beauty". It tries to quantify beauty by the symmetry between your left and right side of the face, the distance from the temple to the nose and nose to chin, etc. Quite interesting, really. It is true though that good looking people get away with a lot more.

I don't agree with you completely, its quite vital if its a matter of trust WHO is important but the information itself is the core, The information should also be judged independently irrespective of the WHO and WHAT should get a fair chance. IF you CEO says that the project needs to be a web application and you Project manager thinks that it needs to be a distributed application, you cannot just agree with the CEO or PM you have to decide based on the information what should be done

As long as it's verifiable data that's easy and obvious. Data is king. However, when it comes to "opinion" the WHO becomes important as well.

Except the CEO is the top of the food-chain and has the final word. While I might have an opinion and will certainly voice that opinion the CEO and PM will ultimately decide on the application type.

Who said anything about denying correct information? All I said was that with the flood of data these days you need to learn who you can trust. Sheesh!

A listener needs to try to interpret the message as having the meaning it was intended to have. I haven't Ruiz, but I think not taking anything personally is a pretty sad way to go through life. When someone tells me they love me, I'm not supposed to take that personally? I think it's better to learn what to take to heart and what to leave behind.
