Reply #98: I tend to prefer people who share my interests [View All]

[Mythsaje]

people who might not necessarily agree with me, but those whom with I share common ground. For me this goes beyond borders of race, religion, occupation, or any of these things.

While I probably have some bias (I tend to like women better than men, and blue collar types better than "suits") this one thing is most often a deciding factor in who or who I do not tend to associate with.

Furthermore, I'm more likely to judge someone on actions and attitude than anything else. I like nice, friendly, courteous, and helpful people. Is this a bias? Perhaps.

I have a distrust of people in positions of authority over me. This is most definitely bias.

I would say that we all have some level of prejudice, though the objects of this prejudice may vary greatly from person to person.
