You're only moderately racist.

That's good.

So you don't attack black people, you just enjoy when you see other people do it.

By choosing one orientation of selections initially, you plant the idea that that is the correct orientation of hand motions, not that it is the correct combinations of words.

You as the test taker are being told which two categories go together. You aren’t making that decision yourself.


You really had to concentrate hard on the second go round. I got a bit pissed off in the middle of it, when I realized what they were doing.

I'm actually surprised I "beat it."

I already clicked out of the screen, but didn't the disclaimer say that your results were based only on the interactive part?

Yea, when they switch to “combine all the good words with black people”, any decrease in speed has nothing to do with an individual’s inability or lack of belief that that term can be used to describe a black person.

It has to do with the fact that the initial portions of the test involved assigning those terms to white faces.

Scruffy contends that the results would be the opposite for most people had they switched the order by having “good and black people” first.

I agree. It felt very obvious what they were trying to do.

Only reason I answered “I have a slight preference to European Americans” is because I find white women more attractive.

So do black guys

It seems I am black!

Based on the test it seems to really just show preferences for wider noses. This seems legit as I am not attracted to tiny / narrow noses.

I strongly prefer white people...what a revelation.

They could've just asked the first couple of ones about if you like black people or white people. The whole green bar thing meant nothing
