Sure, then conduct interviews entirely blindly without mentioning any biographical information that betrays one's gender, race or social background, and that might subconsciously sway an interviewer one way or the other. Also, be sure to conduct the interviews in a society where the interviewee has been brought up on an entirely level playing field, so they have had exactly the same opportunity to formulate and achieve their goals as others with their same aptitude. Edit: see this Princeton study: http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/01/0212/7b.shtml http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/01/0212/7b.shtml showing a correlation between blind auditions and a dramatic shift in the gender composition of orchestras in the 70s and 80s.
