Re: How you really make decisions
The ladder of inference
Mental Models are embedded assumptions, generalizations, or even images. These models shape our worldview and, in turn, impact our behavior. Consequently, two people may witness exactly the same event yet have vastly different perceptions because they have different mental models. In a sense, mental models are like eye glasses, critically changing the way we see the world around us.
Chris Argyris developed a “Ladder of Inference” to describe how people form and sustain mental models. According to Mr. Argyris, we all make assumptions in their daily lives. They are necessary. For example, when we buy a bottle of milk, we assume the milk is drinkable. This said, we must acknowledge that our assumptions could be wrong, especially when we make assumptions about the intentions or beliefs of others.
I actually like this visual to describe how our beliefs loop upon themselves.

Re: How you really make decisions
Tony Wright asks a most interesting questions in this little video [14.46] called Dementia self-assessment. Can you prove you haven't got it?
Sharing this again because it is worth it.
