Several psychological tests have been shown to have biases, which can be of different kinds, such as construct, method, or item bias. In a test that is biased, a certain group may get higher scores or a particular group may get lower scores. These biases may be rooted in culture, gender, race, socioeconomic status, career, education, and so on. Do research at your school library and online, and write about a psychological test that may have once been used extensively, but has been proven to be biased against or in favor of certain groups.

Answer:

In past years the College Entrance tests such as the ACT and SAT have been accused of this type of bias. The topics selected for essay questions favored middle and upper class white students who would have more familiarity with the culture or experiences that the questions covered.

Likewise the vocabulary and literature selections were things that minorities and less privileged students would be less familiar with.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

D. Articulate and appealing vision

Explanation:

Most of the time people that are in the throws of circumstances that are extremely uncomfortable are willing to listen to a promise.  While a charismatic leader is one that needs to be eloquent and set an example to the followers and have a direct plan of action they must first come with a dream.

As an example Barrack Obama was the first "African American" president of the United States of America. He did not specifically fit the description of many as "African American" due to his parentage. His mother was Causation and his father was African and had never had any descendants that were slaves.

This, however, did not stop him from appealing to the minorities with the  slogan "Yes, we can". This was eerily parallel to the spiritual hymn "We shall overcome someday". The dream of the U.S.A.'s first black president was a tangible reality.

This is not to say that he was not competent for the job but first appealing to a dream is the beginning of the win for the favor of the people.
