Unconscious Bias Training, Page 230 Reviews

I have Dyslexia so I would have preferred • Written editable documentation so it can be studied and amended for me to work with. • I need and Overview like the list but so I can edit it • to be able to change the Visual aspect of the text a curvy font such as Comic sans the ability to change the size (I do not like open dyslexic Font) and the colour of the background • Relies on a good memory that focuses in a linear way • I believe that the course is biased towards non dyslexic people I could be wrong but the question below as I have found some of the questions in your tests confusing and having confusing sentences. Which when I study the question I can see the answer but due to the way that it is visually represented I don’t see it. Adding a NOT as an example. When I read words move around the page so that the particular word I can miss. Hence why its important that I use a low contrast setting usually with peach/light orange background. One example Question I found difficult.Anything that’s different to our version of normal or good could be ………. (Weakening or Strengthening ) a negative bias. This seems to be illogical as if I challenge my version then it will be weakening my negative bias. And it depends on how you define “anything that’s different” so this is confusing as you discussed challenging our perception which would have been weakening my negative bias.

I thought this was a great intorduction to Unconscious Bias for all levels. It was informative, easy to navigate and not too long. Thank you!

Grand course, would highly recommend to others, as there are many people around with negative unconcious biases that they're not aware of - ACT and common biases are highly resourceful tools eg. Depending on capacity to expand, perhaps some additional exercises on diverse scenarios and situations could be offered to help people challenge their own biases a bit more and gain an even better insight into them. Perhaps going into a bit more detail and context how, to more strongly support the case with specific examples and comparisons, diversity can strenghten the workplace in contrast to places where there's minimal diversity.

Too long and too much repetition.

Simple and effective but eye-opening too.

"Diversity" is presented as a benefit in itself which is a huge overgeneralisation. This can become a problem if for example it were to influence a hiring decision away from the right candidate because they did not fit the diversity criteria. Imagine how insulting it would be to be told you were hired because you were perhaps a black woman rather than because of your ability to do the job well. Finally, this training is simply NOT based on good science so I'd say it ranks along with homeopathic remedies - aside from the evidence which shows that it may even exacerbate the issue. Unconscious bias is real but imagining it can be addressed in this manner is at best naive.

Good introduction to start the learner thinking about UB and showing the different types

What is the purpose of this test? If someone is naturally biased, and makes decisions based only on their own negative past experiences, I seriously doubt that this would change their views.
