Similarly, it is not easy to answer probabilistic judgments such as ‘What is the probability of Linda being a bank teller?’ or ‘What is the probability of Jack being an engineer?’ However, instead of answering these questions, one can substitute them with questions of similarity, which are a lot easier: ‘How is Linda’s description similar to that of a stereotypical bank teller?’ or ‘How is Jack’s description similar to that of a stereotypical engineer?’ The substitution in this case is known as an application of the ‘representativeness heuristic’, in which ‘probabilities are evaluated by the degree to which A is representative of B, that is, by the degree to which A resembles B’ (Tversky & Kahneman 1974, 1124).
The representativeness heuristic works in many cases, but it inevitably leads to systematic errors in other cases. For instance, it leads to the violation of the conjunction rule when participants are asked to compare the probability of Linda being a bank teller with the probability of Linda being a feminist bank teller. When participants rely on the representativeness heuristic, they compare the similarity between Linda and a stereotypical bank teller and the similarity between Linda and a stereotypical feminist bank teller. Since Linda is not similar to a stereotypical bank teller at all, participants come to the conclusion that Linda is more likely to be a feminist bank teller than a bank teller, which is mathematically fallacious.
