   • After completing the test, write a short reflection (200–300 words) addressing the following questions: 
   • What insights did the test give you about your implicit biases? 
   • How might these biases influence your interactions with diverse patient populations? 
   • Were there any results that surprised you? Why or why not? 
   • What actions or strategies could you implement to reduce the impact of these biases in your practice?
     
     
3. Link to Cultural Competency in Patient Care:
