Blink tries to get us to ask the questions.

1. When should I trust my instincts?
2. When should I gather more information?

The outcome is not as clear as we might like. Our quick judgments are often more accurate, especially when we are an expert in a field. However, they can also be informed by subconscious biases based on race, economic status, and general appearance.

The conclusion that I came to after reading this was that it’s really important to pay attention to our quick judgments, at the same time, we should question them.
