Give a few examples of mindset.

1. Put 6 bees and the same number of flies into a glass bottle, then lay the bottle flat with the bottom facing the window. And the result?

Bees keep trying to find an exit at the bottom of the bottle until they are exhausted or starve to death; The fly will escape from the bottleneck at the other end in less than two minutes.

Because bees naturally set the orientation of the exit based on the way of thinking of the exit in the light, and kept repeating this logical action. It can be said that it is precisely because of this mindset that they have not been able to get out of the cell.

And those flies, ignoring the so-called logic, don't focus on the light at all, but fly around and finally walk out of the cell. It is a deep accidental necessity that simple-minded people are successfully saved where the wise died.

2. A police chief was talking to an old man by the roadside when a child ran over and said to the police chief anxiously, "Your father and my father are quarreling!" " The old man asked, "Who is this child?" The police chief said, "It's my son." Please answer: what is the relationship between these two quarrelling people and the public security bureau chief?

/kloc-only two out of 0/00 questions answered this question correctly! Later, I asked this question to a family of three, but the parents didn't answer correctly, but the child quickly replied: "The director is a woman, and the quarrel is the husband of the director, that is, the father of the child; The other is the director's father and the child's grandfather. "

Why are so many adults not as good as children in answering such simple questions? This is the stereotype effect: according to the experience of adults, the public security bureau chief should be male, and there is naturally no answer to the psychological stereotype of the male bureau chief; The child has no experience in this field, so there is no restriction of psychological set, and the correct answer is found at once.

Extended data:

Thinking set has both positive and negative effects on solving problems, which easily leads to our ideological dependence and forms rigid, mechanical and rigid problem-solving habits.

When the old and new problems are similar in appearance but different in nature, fixed thinking often leads the problem solver into a misunderstanding. This is the limitation of mindset. When dealing with some problems in daily life, if we can adopt a critical and divergent way of thinking, a firm attitude of concrete analysis of specific problems and a bold spirit of daring to doubt, it will help to break through the limitations of thinking patterns.
