I began the year by taking a couple of hidden bias tests at Tolerance.org
I was a bit surprised by the results, especially the one about my bias towards skin tones.
The results suggested that I had a strong automatic preference for lighter skin (putting me with 22 per cent of other respondents). And I always thought exactly the opposite. Besides, even if I did have a bias, I never thought it was 'strong'.
My gender bias test revealed that I make a slight automatic association between male and science (14 per cent of all respondents).
You live and you learn.
