Episode notes
Structured Interviews in the Israeli Army
- In 1955, Kahneman designed a structured interview for the Israeli army, challenging the prevailing reliance on intuition.
- This involved rating six attributes, followed by an intuitive judgment, proving more effective than unstructured interviews.
Decompose and Delay Intuition
- Break down complex decisions into smaller parts and evaluate each independently.
- Delay intuitive judgment until after assessing individual components for better decision-making.
The Difficulty of Probability Judgments
- Probability judgments are inherently difficult due to their abstract nature.
- Instead of probabilities, use intensity scales for qualities to make more reliable comparisons.
