In this video, I cover the implicit biases and discuss the implicit association test (IAT) and the common stereotypes that Asians face with the bamboo ceiling. By outlining the problem, we can look at ways of breaking the bamboo ceiling by reinventing what Margaret Chin calls the "Asian American playbook" in her book Stuck: Why Asian Americans Don't Reach the Top of the Corporate Ladder, to circumvent discrimination by discussing Susan Fiske’s stereotype content model and other sociological research. #BambooCeiling #GlassCeiling #AsianAmericans #2ndGeneration #SecondGeneration #DrJonTam Sign up for the free training "Stop Feeling Stuck in Your Career: Find Your Dream Career" Take a FREE and accurate career personality test Download PDF on How to find your dream career If you enjoyed the episode, please give us a positive review and let us know what else you want to hear about.

    Jordan Peterson’s Understand Myself Couples Personality Test Review | Relationship Report Jordan Peterson’s Understand Myself uses the Big Five Aspects Scale for its big five personality test. Recently, understandmyself.com released an Understand Myself Relationship Report which is a personality test for couples. In this video, my wife and I take Jordan Peterson’s Big Five Personality Trait’s Big Five Aspect Scale’s Understand Myself’s relationship report from understandmyself.com and we review and reflect on the couples personality test results and what it means for the big five personality traits of agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism, and openness to experience. This relationship test can also be used as a marriage personality test and we discuss how soft skills are relevant to this personality test for couples. #JordanPeterson #UnderstandMyself #PersonalityTestForCouples #DrJonTam Disclaimer: The personality test costs money and I don't get any financial benefits from this episode. I just found it to be an interesting exercise for couples to do and wanted to share my experience. Note: Some people have said they can't find the relationship report. I'm not affiliated with understandmyself.com, but it seems to be an option in the understandmyself.com's if you already have an account with them. After getting your individual results, you hook it up with someone else's outcomes in the dashboard (which the other person has to approve). After that, the relationship report becomes available immediately.
