Abstract
The article offers profiles of five specific types of problem solvers and discusses the cognitive biases inherent in each. Adventurers trust their gut, but sometimes make decisions too hastily. Detective-type decision makers trust in facts and figures, but can fall prey to confirmation bias. Listeners listen to advice, but have the potential to be easily swayed. Thinkers like to consider all variables, but may pass up good options for safe ones. Visionaries potentially make bold decisions rather than practical ones.
