Syn :

Usage : {
Bent }, {
Bias }, {
Inclination }, {
Prepossession }.
These words agree in describing a permanent influence upon the mind which tends to decide its actions .
Bent denotes a fixed tendency of the mind in a given direction .
It is the widest of these terms ,
and applies to the will ,
the intellect ,
and the affections ,
taken conjointly ;
as ,
the whole bent of his character was toward evil practices .
Bias is literally a weight fixed on one side of a ball used in bowling ,
and causing it to swerve from a straight course .
Used figuratively ,
bias applies particularly to the judgment ,
and denotes something which acts with a permanent force on the character through that faculty ;
as ,
the bias of early education ,
early habits ,
etc .
Inclination is an excited state of desire or appetency ;
as ,
a strong inclination to the study of the law .
Prepossession is a mingled state of feeling and opinion in respect to some person or subject ,
which has laid hold of and occupied the mind previous to inquiry .
The word is commonly used in a good sense ,
an unfavorable impression of this kind being denominated a prejudice . "
Strong minds will be strongly bent ,
and usually labor under a strong bias ;
but there is no mind so weak and powerless as not to have its inclinations ,
and none so guarded as to be without its prepossessions ." --
Crabb .
