The Discovering Diversity Profile is a 16-page self assessment instrument that helps people discover how they respond to workplace diversity issues and where they need to develop an increased understanding. The assessment helps individuals explore their own viewpoints on diversity in four key areas:

  1. Knowledge/Stereotypes – examine what we know about differences and where that information comes from.
  2. Understanding/Empathy – learn how willing we are to put ourselves in a position to understand what others may be feeling.
  3. Acceptance/Respect – assess how patient and respectful we are of others with diverse behaviors and backgrounds.
  4. Behavior/Self-awareness – gain insight into our attitudes and behavior toward others.
