✍️ Sample DEI Questions & Answers
1. A company uses an AI tool to screen applicants. What is the best practice to address potential bias?
Auditing selection outcomes by group detects whether an algorithm produces adverse impact.
2. What is a key component of cultural competence?
Cultural competence involves understanding, appreciating, and interacting effectively with people from diverse cultures. A key aspect is the ability to adapt one's communication style and behavior to align with different cultural norms, showing respect and facilitating clearer, more effective interactions across cultural boundaries.
3. When DEI metrics show improvement in representation but declining inclusion scores, what does this suggest?
Rising diversity with falling inclusion signals cultural gaps that threaten retention.
4. What is the main limitation of using a single overall 'inclusion score' to judge DEI progress?
Composite scores combine different experiences and dimensions, which can hide where problems actually are.
5. What is the main purpose of intersectional analysis in DEI assessment?
Intersectional analysis catches disparities, such as those facing women of color, that single-identity analysis can miss.
6. A hiring manager favors a candidate because they attended the same university and share hobbies. Which bias is at work?
Affinity bias is the tendency to favor people who are similar to ourselves.
