Recognizing Your Own Biases
One advantage of a stereotype is that it enables us to respond rapidly to situations because we may have had a similar experience before.
One disadvantage is that it makes us ignore differences between individuals; therefore, we think things about people that might not be true (i.e. generalize).

Take the Harvard Implicit Bias Test. There are multiple implicit bias tests offered from other think tanks you can take regarding many types of bias, such as ethnicity, skin tone, body type, etc.
Explore other tests listed in the Chapter 6 Chunk
Discuss the outcome of the test
• Which tests did you take and/or explore and why?
• What surprised you most about the test?
• Did you feel the test was accurate? Why or why not?
• Knowing this information, how would you address it when you come into contact with a person with the trait?
