Reality Check: The Benefits of Testing Your Assumptions and Beliefs



The 1989 Germantown Master Plan was the pilot study followed by analyses of the 1998 Friendship Heights Sector Plan and the 1997 Fairland Master Plan. The plan reality check assessment tested traditional assumptions to determine whether they should be modified based on indicators and past performance. The results will influence the direction of future planning efforts in the County.

When a reality check is volunteered, it's typically because the person offering it believes the person or organization in question is significantly mistaken about something. In a situation where someone asks another person for a reality check, it may be because they're dealing with a complex issue and are aware of the potential for errors.


In content creation, for example, errors can include simple typos, misinformation and slanted arguments resulting from cognitive bias. The four eyes principle -- a requirement that two people review a document -- is a type of reality check designed to detect such errors so they don't appear in the final version. For important matters, it may be advisable to seek expert advice.


Reality checks are particularly important in business, where overconfidence often leads to a lack of preparedness and an inability to deal with setbacks. In a recent study exploring the expectations of 2994 entrepreneurs, for example, 81 percent of respondents rated their startups' odds of success at better than 7 out of 10, while 33 percent rated their chances at 10 out of 10, with no possibility of failure. In actuality, a significant number of startups never get traction and only one in 10 of those that do launch is still in business after five years. In this scenario, a reality check could consist of having an analyst evaluate your business plan and suggest areas that need improvement.


"It's disconnected from reality. There's just no other way to put it," Sen. Schmitt told Fox News Digital Tuesday moments after the address. "It's like Groundhog Day. It's the same speech from last year, and nothing's gotten any better. Things have gotten worse for people. That's because this president is beholden to the radical left and their agenda that makes life more difficult for average Americans."


"I just think he gave a rosy, detached speech tonight. And Americans face a difficult reality every day of higher prices on everything, a wide open border and no clear end in sight," the senator said. "There's nothing he proposed that would actually address these issues that concern everyday working families. And his words were hollow."
