What is Unconscious Bias?

Learn what unconscious bias is and how you become aware of your own unconscious bias.

ABOUT THE ETHICS CENTRE
The Ethics Centre is an independent not-for-profit that advocates for a more ethical society.
A team of innovators, thought leaders and conveners of people and ideas, we deliver a range of services including original programs, consulting, leadership and an ethics helpline designed to bring ethics to the centre of everyday life.
Across our work, we aim to diagnose, prevent and cure the sources of ethical failure, to increase ethical literacy through education and information, and develop tools to empower good decision making.
The Centre’s programs are recognised for stimulating public awareness and understanding, creating a space for open, honest and often difficult conversations.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of The Ethics Centre, and we’re committed to educating, engaging and informing for a better world for the 30 years to come.

Unconscious bias testing always produces a different result with second and repeated tests. So was the first test right ? Or, the second ? Or, the third ?
