  17. Fourteen Dimensions of Diversity Primary Dimensions of Diversity The primary dimensions of diversity are those basic characteristics that are inborn and/or that greatly affect how you are socialized. These dimensions shape your self-image, your world view, and how others perceive you. At the core of your identity and life experience, they continue to exert powerful impacts throughout your life.

  18. Age: the number of years you have been alive and the generation in which you were born. Race: the biological groupings within humankind, representing superficial physical differences, such as eye form and skin color. Race accounts for .012 percent difference in a person’s genetic heredity.

  19. Ethnicity: identification with a cultural group that has shared traditions and heritage, including national origin, language, religion, food, customs, and so on. Some people identify strongly with these cultural roots; others do not. Gender: biological sex as determined by XX (female) or XY (male) chromosomes.

  20. Physical Abilities/Qualities: a variety of characteristics, including body type, physical size, facial features, specific abilities or disabilities, visible and invisible physical and mental limitations. Sexual/Affectional Orientation: feelings of sexual attraction toward members of the same or opposite gender, such as heterosexual, gay/lesbian, or bisexual.

  21. Secondary Dimensions of Diversity The secondary dimensions of diversity are those characteristics that you acquire and can modify throughout your life. Factors such as income, religion, and geographic location may exert a significant impact in childhood, but most of the others are less salient than the core dimensions. However, all of these can profoundly shape you experiences.

  22. Education: the formal and informal teachings to which you have been exposed and the training you have received. Work Background: the employment and volunteer positions you have held and the array of organizations for which you have worked.

  23. Income: the economic conditions in which you grew up and your current economic status. Marital Status: your situation as a never-married, married, widowed or divorced person.

  24. Military Experience: service in one or more branches of the military. Religious beliefs: fundamental teachings you have received about deities and your internalized experiences from formal or informal religious practices.

  25. Geographic Location: the location (s) in which you were raised or spent a significant part of your life, including types of communities, urban areas versus rural areas, and so on. Parental Status: having or not having children and the circumstances in which you raise your children (single parenting, two-adult parenting, and so on.)‏
