Aaron Beck's 6 Types of Faulty Thinking

Magnification, Exaggeration, and Minimization

Blowing negative information out of proportion (magnification); thinking that a certain event is much worse than it really is (exaggeration); rebutting positive information about themselves (minimization)

Polarized Thinking

an "all or nothing", "good or bad", and "either/or" approach to viewing the world; sometimes called "black or white thinking", psychological tightrope, no room for error

Arbitrary Inference

drawing conclusions about oneself or the world without sufficient and relevant evidence; "everybody hates me", "I'm totally worthless"; a therapist would challenge these thoughts by getting the client to list people who are about them or ways in which they have value.

Selective Abstraction

hyperfocusing on a minor negative incident or detail without considering the overall context or "big picture"; the person chooses to focus on the negative detail of their own accord not like magnification/exaggeration/minimization where it is about how they perceive incoming information

Overgeneralization

making a sweeping, global evaluation about yourself based on a single incident in just one domain of life; applying a setback at work to your entire life, "I can't do anything right"

Personalization

thinking that you're responsible for something or blaming yourself for something that you logically have no control over; aka "excessive responsibility"
