Warren Harding, 29th President of the United States
When I took the IAT for Bias towards sexuality (Gay/Straight), my result was a slight bias toward straight. This surprised me because I really don't think I have a bias at all. I think maybe because i'm left handed the results weren't 100% accurate. All in all, this surprised me and I will keep the results in mind.Tuesday, October 15, 2013
After reading "The Warren Harding Error", I was more aware of the implicit associations that me and many others make every day. Before reading this, I didn't realize that our bias's could effect who rules our country. After thinking about this for a while, I can now see that there are certain things in my subconscious that effect me in my daily life. The message I take away from this is to be aware of the bias's you might have and take them into account when you make decisions. I don't believe we can undo our unconscious bia's but we can learn to realize we have them . When we discussed leadership qualities, none of them had to do with looks. To be a good leader has nothing to do with the way you look. Leadership has to do with the way you are, like being honest, fair, and trustworthy.
