The ''ladder of inference'' is a "model that describes how people move from observable facts to their own conclusions and actions, often unconsciously. It represents a series of mental steps: starting with selecting some data, then adding meaning and assumptions, drawing conclusions, and finally taking action based on those [[belief]]s.

The ladder of inference "increases [[self-awareness]] by making people conscious of their own thought processes, allowing them to examine their assumptions and biases before acting. By intentionally moving down the ladder, you can trace your conclusions back to the raw data, leading to more intentional and less reflexive decisions and a deeper understanding of how you arrive at your beliefs."<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=How+can+the+ladder+of+inference+increase+self-awareness%3F&sca_esv=be5f5ad743b3614b&sxsrf=AE3TifOtxEuwIvVxA-EeRsyqaX30irFb7g%3A1760586135789&ei=l2nwaL_7L_GU5OMP8YbRsQY&ved=0ahUKEwj_ouG55qeQAxVxCnkGHXFDNGYQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=How+can+the+ladder+of+inference+increase+self-awareness%3F&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiOEhvdyBjYW4gdGhlIGxhZGRlciBvZiBpbmZlcmVuY2UgaW5jcmVhc2Ugc2VsZi1hd2FyZW5lc3M_MgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigATIFECEYqwJI5-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-5owgcHMi41MS44NMgHogM&sclient=gws-wiz-serp How can the ladder of inference increase self-awareness?]</ref>
