Hello the post should be at least 250 words, have two citations, and be in Chicago 17th edition style. Please do not use AI as my teacher checks for that. I’ve attached the readings for the week and screenshots of the lesson. You can use an instance that you want. For reference I am a male and a police officer if that helps with anything.

In PIA, Heuer defines mirror imaging as “an example of an unavoidable cognitive trap” whereby the analyst fills in information gaps “by assuming that the other side is likely to act in a certain way because that is how the US would act under similar circumstances.”
For this week’s discussion, describe (1) a personal or professional instance in which you fell victim to mirror imaging; (2) identify the factors that contributed to misreading of the situation or event; and (3) a strategy that could have been employed to mitigate or prevent this particular case of mirror imaging from occurring.
In case you’re wondering, most examples of mirror imaging tend to involve the opposite sex for as the title of the book reads “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.” Again, have some fun with this assignment!
After you write your first post, respond to two classmates. First select a classmate who has no responses. If all classmates have at least one response, you may respond to any two.
