Step 1:Write down five different social groups you identify with (for example, student, activist, female/male, parent, waiter/waitress). Think about what online groups you belong, where you have a membership (gym, library) or clubs you belong to. List them out.

Step 2:Now, think about stereotypes that people who are not in this social group might have of its members.For instance, boring and nerdy is often the stereotype of someone who frequents a library.

For each of your five social groups, list 3-5 stereotyped characteristics associated with that group.

Step 3: On a scale of 1-5, (1 most describes you, 5 least describes you) rate whether or not these characteristics describe you?
