[hs-equality] Are you accepting or prejudice quiz?

[Georgia Guthrie]

Hey there,
I think I suggested the questions to reveal possible prejudices. I've taken
a few online research tests that try to measure implicit bias. Here's a
website with a few tests you can do, on gender/career association, race
association, sexuality...

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/selectatest.html

Of course these tests are only as useful as each individual thinks they
are, but some people may find them interesting. I just did the
gender/career test and it said I didn't have any measurable bias, but the
most interesting part was that about 50% who took the test do seem to have
some bias.

We could also ask people to post stories of when they made an assumption
about someone based on a stereotype, and then regretted it later when they
realized what they did. Extra points if they apologized to that person or
made amends somehow.

Talk to you all soon,
Georgia
