DEI Quiz - Test Your Knowledge

How well do you know important DEI vocabulary? 

First, let’s do a quick run down on what DEI means. Put simply, DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 

Why is it important? 

Because we all operate every day in a place where  many of our identities collide and interact with the world around us. And since that is true for us, it is true for everyone. 

Try to think of as many identifiers you can think of that resonate with you. 

Consider: some of us identify with groups that are disadvantaged for numerous reasons. Further, some of us identify with multiple disadvantaged groups.

If you are new to this concept, I urge you to do a quick Google/Duck Duck Go/Bing/etc. search to help illuminate this concept. 

Back to the quiz. This quiz helps break down the popular terms used when discussing DEI by testing you on how well you understand the terms.

My advice while taking it: try to not put pressure on yourself to be perfect but also go into this quiz with some humility. Lastly, take notes on terms or concepts you don’t understand. Unfortunately, when you are done with the quiz, you can’t go back to review what you got wrong. You’d have to retake the quiz to do that. 

So, have a piece of paper and a pen handy and give it a go.
