In <em>Blink <\/em>(2005)<em>, <\/em>Malcolm Gladwell questions this assumption, asking: <strong>How do our snap judgments compare to our rational, well-thought-out decisions? <\/strong>He finds that our snap judgments are often just as good as our deliberate decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following <em>Blink <\/em>quotes by Malcolm Gladwell highlight some of the key ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cWe live in a world saturated with information. We have virtually unlimited amounts of data at our fingertips at all times, and we\u2019re well versed in the arguments about the dangers of not knowing enough and not doing our homework. But what I have sensed is an enormous frustration with the unexpected costs of knowing too much, of being inundated with information. We have come to confuse information with understanding.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us have been taught that to make good decisions we need to consider as much information as possible. But sometimes the right decision is a less informed decision. Too much information can overwhelm you with details and obscure the bigger picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Gladwell, you don\u2019t actually need a lot of information to identify patterns\u2014just the <em>right<\/em> information. If we want to protect the integrity of our snap judgments, we need to limit the data we consider when making a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cAnyone who has ever scanned the bookshelves of a new girlfriend or boyfriend- or peeked inside his or her medicine cabinet- understands this implicitly; you can learn as much &#8211; or more &#8211; from one glance at a private space as you can from hours of exposure to a public face.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Gladwell, judgments about personality are often best made through what he calls &#8220;thin-slicing&#8221; rather than rational analysis. He cites the research of psychologist Samuel Gosling to illustrate this point. Gosling discovered that you can make surprisingly accurate judgments about someone you&#8217;ve never met just by looking around his or her dorm room for 15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Bedrooms expose patterns. They give a peek into your private life that is revealing.<strong> <\/strong>An unmade bed, posters on the wall, or a fluffy ottoman can tell you just as much about a person as meeting him or her, if not more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bedroom without its occupant inside it contains well-selected information. It excludes distracting and irrelevant information.<strong> <\/strong>Stereotypes triggered by a subject\u2019s presence were absent. If you meet a quiet, econ major with glasses, you may never guess she\u2019s a hardcore heavy metal fan. If you judge her by her vinyl and paraphernalia collection, you get a different picture. The people themselves weren\u2019t there to get in the way. We can\u2019t view ourselves objectively, so we often say confusing or contradictory things about ourselves to other people. By just looking at someone\u2019s bedroom, we avoid this white noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cWhen we talk about analytic versus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/intuitive-decision-making-adaptive-unconscious\/\">intuitive decision making<\/a>, neither is good or bad. What is bad is if you use either of them in an inappropriate circumstance.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Our brain uses two broad strategies for making decisions: conscious or deliberate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/methods-of-decision-making-crucial-conversations\/\">decision-making<\/a> and unconscious or intuitive decision-making. We usually think that deliberate decisions should be the way to go. But are they really? According to Malcolm Gladwell, both logical, conscious decision-making and snap judgments have their time and place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of how we can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/make-better-decisions\/\">make better decisions<\/a> is to understand when the deliberate approach is best, and when the intuitive approach is best. Gladwell suggests that, where possible, we <strong>start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/deliberate-decision-making\/\">deliberate decision-making<\/a><\/strong>. This lays the groundwork for future rapid cognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cWe have, as human beings, a storytelling problem. We&#8217;re a bit too quick to come up with explanations for things we don&#8217;t really have an explanation for.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>When we don\u2019t know why we\u2019ve made a certain decision, we make something up. We don\u2019t lie on purpose. We actually believe the lies that our conscious minds construct to explain the decisions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-unconscious-mind\/\">unconscious mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gladwell offers two solutions to stop rationalization from getting in the way of good decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gladwell\u2019s Option #1: <\/strong>Don\u2019t try to explain your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/snap-decisions\/\">snap decisions<\/a>. Honor the mysteries of the unconscious mind, and admit that you don\u2019t always have the answers, even those pertaining to your own choices. Once you\u2019ve created a story to explain an unconscious decision, that story is hard to shake. We believe the stories we tell ourselves and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gladwell\u2019s Option #2: <\/strong>Attempt to enhance your conscious perception through technology or recording techniques that slow down the flow of information. For example, use slow-motion videos for sports technique analysis. This allows your conscious mind to catch up to your unconscious, giving you a chance to double-check your unconscious judgments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for Blink quotes by Malcolm Gladwell?
