Ideas for action

A person scoring high in Big picture / Detail may be susceptible to the Curse of
Knowledge and to availability bias. Those who talk at a high level sometimes
assume a level of knowledge in others that does not exist, or a simplicity
about their topic that is apparent to them, but not to others. A preference for
big picture thinking may also mean that information is sometimes accepted
too readily (availability bias) without checking the detail.

Someone scoring low, with a good understanding of detail may equally fall
victim to the Curse of Knowledge and assume a level of detailed knowledge in
others that is not realistic.

For more on cognitive biases and how to mitigate their impact, see section 6.
