• They’re in this industry so they must be ...

• They’ll want ...

• They’ll be motivated by ...

• They dislike ...

Assumptions are a natural part of our mental work. An assumption is a generalization. Most companies are client-centric, most doors open in the same way, sharp objects can hurt you. If we didn’t generalize, we would not be able to see patterns in life. So generalizing can be useful, but your assumptions must be tested.

How do you test assumptions?

Simple. Ask questions. For example:

• Is this really true?

• How do I know it’s true?

• What evidence do I have that it’s true?

• Is it always true? Sometimes true?

• What could be assumed instead?

• How is this assumption serving me?

• Do I need to adjust my thinking?

So, clean your mental filters and test your assumptions to ensure that your filters are not factors in accurately interpreting situations.
