Perceiving asymmetric category overlap requires cognitive effort that simple measures lack

Evidence

Asking, for example, “How many Americans are Christian?” is very different from asking about the proportion of Christians who are American. Obviously, making such a distinction requires somewhat more cognitive effort on behalf of the individual. It is, thus, perhaps not surprising that researchers have found that various measures of cognitive style positively predict social identity complexity. — Roderick M. Kramer, Geoffrey J.
