Diversity encompasses two types of differentness: how many individuals are different from the norm and the extent of the differentness.

  • For example, a bowl of red jellybeans shows no diversity.
  • A bowl of red jellybeans with one black one is not very diverse because there is only one jellybean different from the norm.
  • A bowl of jellybeans in which a quarter are pink and the rest red is not particularly diverse, because the pink ones aren't all that different from the red ones and they are all the same as the other pinks. (There is no diversity among the pink population.
  • A bowl of jellybeans where there are six or seven different colours about equally represented is much more diverse: there are many non-red beans and they are not the same colour as each other. Diversity has reached a stage where it is difficult to still call the reds the norm.
  • A bowl of candy where only one is a jellybean and each other piece of candy is a different type is very diverse indeed.
