Implicit bias testing

Implicit bias testing assesses subconscious attitudes or stereotypes that influence our judgments and decisions without our awareness. These tests often involve quickly pairing concepts, such as associating certain groups with positive or negative words, to reveal hidden preferences. They help individuals recognize biases they might not consciously acknowledge, promoting greater self-awareness and encouraging fairer behavior. The goal isn't to label someone as biased but to uncover automatic associations that can affect everyday interactions and decision-making.
