It's important to self-assess ourselves for implicit bias because it helps us understand our hidden thoughts and stereotypes that affect how we treat others.
We may not even realize that we have these biases, but they can make us treat people unfairly based on things like their race or gender. By checking ourselves, we can learn to be more fair and equal to everyone.
Self-assessment also helps us make better decisions and have better relationships with others. It's an important step towards creating a society where everyone is treated with respect and fairness.
