Shane is 53 years old, married, a deacon at the community church, and the father of four children. He majored in finance and was the vice president of his college fraternity. If you assume Shane is politically conservative rather than liberal or independent, what is likely to be true about your assumption?

▸ You are using a mental set to make your assumption.

▸ You are using the representativeness heuristic, which is prone to error.

▸ You are likely inaccurate because the description is more representative of a political liberal.

▸ You are using the availability heuristic, which is prone to error.
