The tendency to attribute successes to internal factors and failures to external factors. Your ego's personal PR department.
Prevents learning from failures and creates unrealistic self-assessments in everything from dating to business.
This bias is so strong that even when people are told about it, they still think it doesn't apply to them.
"Your confidence in your own rationality is inversely proportional to your actual rationality. Ironic, isn't it?"
