"I try and do as much as I can with the information provided."
I know I'm guilty of this one, and I've stayed away from high paced jobs and appreciate jobs where people are ok with my reluctance to bother a lot of people even if that means it takes me longer to figure things out on my own.
This also means I build a much deeper understaning of the systems I work with, or at least I like to think so, and some people have confirmed that about me, indirectly, by praises of my insights.
Their praise is obviously great for knowing how you're doing, but it doesn't confirm the reason for your good insights. Plenty of people manage to be good at what they do without doing 100% the best way possible, so maybe you'd be even better if you changed your approach!
Of course I know nothing about you so I'm not trying to give advice, just replying about the "confirmed" being a potential cognitive bias.
