Bias testing

Implicitly® and Bias Test are two unique online tools which is able both to measure the strength of our people preferences (biases) but also to assess the risk of those biases becoming exclusionary behaviour.

Both test platforms can be used as both an organisational audit (to identify the types and levels of bias), a personal development tool, and as an evaluation metric to judge the impact of an intervention. They are unique in being a criterion based Implicit Association Test (IAT) developed for commercial use, whereas other IATs are norm based and tell us nothing about the impact of our biases on our behaviour ( see Blanton and Jaccard, 2006).

Both platforms allow tests to be completed directly and anonymously for audit purposes through a single log-in.
