I think you're being a bit defensive. The whole point of the test is to try to not think to much and just try not to worry so much. Personally I think any score with a slight lean toward one group or another is really no different from being purely in the middle. After I took the test it said I had a slight leaning towards other religions, but I thought that didn't make a ton of sence since I'm jewish myself.

I took quite a few of the tests and everyone of them besides one I got either a slight lean or in the middle score. I unfortunately had a strong leaning towards non-disabled people over disabled people which I'm a bit ashamed of, but I think it has a bit to do with my belief that disabled people are not physically well and they might need to get better. To tell you the truth I really don't know many people who I think are disabled.

Re: Test your hidden biases and prejudices

Well, the US-vs-your-country test seems to work.

Anyway, it was no surprise that I favor germany over the US.

We do not execute people who may found innocent later when scientific forensic methods got better American Civil Liberties Union : Stop the Execution of the Innocent, we hadn't apartheid until the 70s Racial segregation in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , it's not allowed to spank pupils here (so also black pupils are not spanked significantly more: American Civil Liberties Union : U.S.: End Beating of Children in Public Schools), we have no gun fetishism, we do not start wars every few years List of wars involving the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia... so we're morally and intellectually superior and so the test found I associate good with germany and bad with the US for a reason.

I've noticed that the things I'm most intolerant of are qualities people possess such as selfishness and stupidity. How I communicate with stupid, selfish people will make a differnce. I don't have to tolerate them, but I can chose to ignore them or I can chose to have words with them.
You want to talk about bias? you should really look in the mirror.

I forgive you for being bias against those you deam to be bias.
