In intelligence there are no recipes for success or absolute methodologies that

guarantee success. However, as in any other profession, there are human factors subject to
error, the limits of knowledge and mental processes, limits that the literature calls cognitive
errors. These are natural reflexes of the human mind to simplify the acts of information
processing or, in other words, subconscious, therefore involuntary errors that prevent the
unaltered understanding of reality. The main reason why cognitive errors are most
pronounced in intelligence is related to the resource involved, information. People's
perceptions and how they process information are strongly influenced by different forms of
assumptions by which individuals relate to objective reality, but which can distort
perceptions, providing no more than a subjective representation of what people think they
know about the outside world. Given the inability to assimilate the complexity of reality,
individuals resort to the construction of simplified mental models of the objective world
without there always being a compatibility between the informational input and their own
way of thinking.
