The Art Of Thin-Slicing In Blink By Samuel Gosling

In this chapter of Blink, the writer discusses the art of thin-slicing which is being able to make a quick decision or judgement about someone or something with few but relevant details. I found the better example to helping me better understand the method of thin-slicing was the bedroom example. In my home, there are four bedrooms. With the method of thin-slicing, I understand that anybody would be able to figure my family’s individual personalities with the five prompt questions that psychologist, Samuel Gosling has put together. I also believe that even without the questions, someone curious enough can go into any bedroom and be able to figure out what type of personality the owner of the room has.
