It is always humbling to be reminded that there is always more to learn. I completed the IAT tests earlier in the 30 day challenge only to find myself biased slightly towards straight people and yet I would have considered myself truly supportive of gay people if not slightly biased towards them – my reactions in testing showed this isn’t true. My attitude to race appeared more neutral but I wonder if that was because the test was American – how truly neutral am I?
