Check your knowledge with a gender bias quiz

Why take a gender bias quiz

Despite decades of progress, gender bias is still a prevalent issue in the workplace. From the gender wage gap to the scarcity of women in executive-level positions, women continue to face obstacles that their male counterparts do not. This is not only unfair, but it can also be detrimental to a business’s success. Numerous studies have shown that gender-diverse teams are more productive and innovative than those that are not, and businesses that embrace diversity tend to be more successful. So why is it that gender bias continues to be a problem? One reason is that it’s often subtle and difficult to spot. For example, a study by researchers at the University of Waterloo found that when participants were asked to evaluate the resumes of job candidates, they tended to rate candidates who were ambiguously masculine (e.g., those who had a name that could be construed as either masculine or feminine) as more qualified than those who were unambiguously feminine. This is just one example of how gender bias can manifest in the workplace, and it’s something that we need to be aware of and strive to eliminate. That’s why we’ve put together this quiz on gender bias in the workplace. With quizzes like this, we can help to raise awareness of the issue and work towards a more equitable workplace for everyone.
