Checklist of rationality habits

Abstract

Based on workshops taught by the Center for Applied Rationality, this checklist evaluates how and to what extent a person acquires “rationality habits.” The checklist’s goal is not to assess how “rational” one is, but rather to provide a personal shopping list of habits to consider developing. The checklist is not meant to be a way to get a ‘how rational are you?’ score, but, rather, a way to notice specific habits one might want to develop. For each habit, one might ask if they last used it within a particular timeframe. In this way, the checklist can gauge a sense of development over time. – AI-generated abstract.
