- URSpider94 11y agoThat's exactly what you are doing, and there is copious data out there to say that we all do it. The generally accepted term is "unconscious bias." I saw a summary of a study recently in which people were asked to rate top character indicators of success for male and female candidates for a job, things like "aggressive," "nurturing," "outspoken," "mediator." Not surprisingly, the adjective sets for male and female candidates were substantially different.
