Individual differences have been neglected in decision-making research on heuristics and cognitive biases.
Addressing that issue requires having reliable measures. Measuring individual differences in the susceptibility to decision biases has become a targeted research question since it was suggested that there is an unexplored variance in rational thinking independent of cognitive abilities and intelligence.

- Need to prove the value of algorithms in measuring biases and heuristics
Enriched Data: Social Media as a natural setting
There is no comprehensive tool capturing general vulnerability to biases caused the use of heuristics. Existing tools focus only on one specific bias or on personality traits.
The amount of information an individual is confronted with is infinite. All of this information could be processed, evaluated, integrated, and used in decision-making.
