A highly personal and unreasoned distortion of judgement is _____

• A. Bias
• B. Prejudice
• C. Judgment
• D. Opinion

Answer: (A)

Bias is a tendency to lean in a direction that skews objectivity, causing judgment to reflect personal feelings, experiences, or stereotypes rather than facts. When evaluation is colored by those internal factors and lacks evidence-based support, it becomes a highly personal and unreasoned distortion of judgment.

Prejudice refers to a fixed, often negative, attitude toward a group rather than the specific act of judging something unfairly in a given moment. Judgment is the overall process of forming a conclusion, which can be fair or biased. Opinion is a belief held about something, which may or may not be grounded in evidence.
