WHICH OF THESE "COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS" ARE YOU MOST PRONE TO?


[+] ballot by Applerod
ACTIVE Sun Mar 11, 07 - Mon Jan 05, 09

Cognitive distortions are ways in which our perceptions of ourselves and the external environment become distorted or irrationally skewed towards the negative.
Here are just a few common cognitive distortions:
1) All-or-nothing thinking: You look at things in absolute, black-and-white categories.
2) Jumping to conclusions: Negative assumptions about other people (including their supposed perception of you), or the future.
3) Magnification or minimization: You blow things way out of proportion or shrink their importance.
4) Over-generalization
5) Personalization and blame: You blame yourself for something you weren't entirely responsible for, or you blame other people and deny your role in the problem.
6) Mental filter: You dwell on the negatives.

You probably identified more than one, but which would you say you're MOST prone to?

All-or-nothing thinking
Jumping to conclusions
