Explanation:

The type of thinking that uses shortcuts to allow one to make a decision quickly, without considering all of the evidence, is called a heuristic.

A heuristic is an approach to problem solving that employs mythologies that are not guaranteed to be perfect but may be sufficient to immediately solve the problem, examples are, educated guess, intuitive judgement and trial and errors.
