Malcolm Gladwell blog Response The main thing that stood out to me in the chapter was about how tall people are treated differently than short people. The article says that "height, particularly in men, triggers a certain set of very positive unconscious associations." I think the takeaway message would have to be that many people make quick judgements about people we don't even know. This is what we would call a unconscious association. We should take this chapter into consideration with leadership because some people may think that tall people would make better leaders than tall people or the other way around. I think that we can undo our unconscious biases. It might be hard because you might not know that you have a unconscious bias unless someone points it out to you. I think that people should look for more than just attractiveness when choosing a leader. You should look for intelligence,trustworthy,unbiased,encouraging,mand hardworking people. You need to focus on whats on the inside not just whats on the outside. I took the test on the flowers vs insects. I went into the test pretty much knowing what my results were going to be. I'm not a very big fan of bugs. As I predicted my results showed a strong automatic preference for flowers compared to insects. I also took the race test. I didn't know what my results were going to be because like I said earlier sometimes you don't know if you've been going threw your life making unconscious biases about people unless someone points it out to you. My results showed a moderate automatic preference for European American compared to African American. I was surprised. I wasn't sure what that meant at first. Now that I have re read it I think it means i prefer white people, which is not true. I have friends of many different races, so this took me by surprise.
