EDI Matters 

Diversity Wheel Activity

In 1990, Marilyn Loden and Judy Rosener developed a framework for thinking about the different dimensions of diversity within individuals and institutions. Depicted as concentric circles, this “Diversity Wheel” can be used in many ways to encourage thinking about values, beliefs, and dimensions of identity for people and organizations.

Activity: 

  • After spending time looking at the wheel, write down 5 characteristics that describe who you are—the top five things you think of when you think of describing yourself. 
  • Locate your characteristics on the Diversity Wheel and then write about why you identified yourself with those characteristics
  • Then rank these identifiers based on their importance to you 
  • Then rank these characteristics based on how others categorize you. 
  • What does this exercise tell you about beliefs and prejudices?
