1). Self- Reflection. Practice involves self-reflection and checking for bias to ensure your design and topic will withstand robust scrutiny from peers and academics. A strong research effort minimizes bias and presents alternative and opposing perspectives, including issues concerning methodology. Bias creates errors in research and can take the form of systematic or personal bias that can influence the research design, sampling fame, and even the interpretation of findings.

For this Discussion, you will take the fun Tendencies Quiz located in the Discussion: Tendencies & Biblical Integration Resources area of the Discussion Thread prompt. There is no right or wrong answer, and you are encouraged to reply to each prompt based on your initial reaction, i.e., refrain from dwelling upon or trying to analyze each question. The important thing is to be honest with yourself. Consider the statements in the left and right columns, and then mark which side of the row (from 1-5) best matches how you feel. This is intended to provoke self-reflection on how you process information, especially information that may differ from your views. Check the score that most reflects your tendency for each statement - the further to the left relates to stronger identification with the statement on the left, the further to the right indicates stronger identification with the right-hand statement. (1-strongly to the left, 2 - moderately to the left, 3 is neutral, 4 - moderately to the right, 5 - strongly to the right). Your total score should fall within the range of 9-45.
