Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kate is using her perception to categorize her co-workers based on their roles within the firm. Stereotyping would involve making assumptions about people based on arbitrary characteristics, such as their appearance or background. Projection involves attributing one's own feelings or attitudes to others, which is not present in this scenario. Bias refers to a preconceived preference or inclination, which is not evidenced in Kate's action of categorizing her co-workers.
