3 Traits can cause a person to get the Monty Hall problem wrong:
1) Stubborness: "I've made my pick, and I'm sticking to it, options will just make me double down!"
2) Suspiciousness: "I'm faced with a man in a suit, looking like a salesperson, and he's trying to make me change my mind. I think he is up to no good!"
3) Stupidity (relative to those that get it right): "I overestimate my ability at statistics, and I think there is an even chance of a car between each door after one goat has been revealed!"
And for those who get it right, not from luck, but from understanding the statistics, there is always the Two Envelopes problem that is very similar, yet so much harder.
