The article “The Science of Shopping” written by New Yorker staff writer Malcom Gladwell, is based on retail anthropologist and urban geographer Paco Underhill. Underhill studies the shopping characteristics through frequently watched surveillance tapes to help store managers improve the setup of their goods and services.

Underhill, an insightful and revolutionary man, provides a view of science to displaying merchandise and creates a positive experience for both the buyer and seller. I agree that Underhill’s scientific theories; the Invariant Right, Decompression
Laziness is a trait that the human race possess by nature. That being said, people are most likely to search for the most economical ways to move about or do things (Oaklander, 2015). Similarly, when it comes to making judgments, human beings tend to look for the easiest and shortest ways possible. Such aspect of the human race is considerably heuristic, which can generally be defined as a cognitive rule of thumb that helps an individual to solve problems or make decisions in a quick and easy manner. According to Schneider, Gruman, and Coutts, it is common and automatic for people to use cognitive shortcuts when making judgments, in the processing of new information (2012).
The overall concept for chapter six concerns estimates of reliability for tests. This includes a review of measurement scales (nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio), steps for the selection and creation of tests, and some of the more commonly used forms of reliability estimates (Cascio & Aguinis, 2011). Within the steps for selecting and creating tests, conducting an item analysis using item response theory (IRT) is also discussed. In addition, interpretation of reliability is included in the chapter, and the range of individual differences, some of the difficulties in measuring reliability, size and representativeness of a sample, and statistical measurement of standard error (Cascio & Aguinis, 2011). Scale coarseness is another important

The book discusses the biases of our intuition. How we assume or accept certain things automatically and unconsciously without really thinking about them. It explains the capabilities, and faults and biases of System 1, and discloses the extensive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. System 2 is slower, and is more logical, calculated, it involves reasoning, solving problems, concentrating, considering other data, and very important, not jumping to conclusions too quickly.
