My birth sex: Male
Gender identity: ???????
Race: European
Sexual orientation: Heterosexual

According to this, I have a moderate association of European Americans with good and African Americans with bad, moderate association of men with exact sciences and women with social sciences, moderate association of men with career and women with family, and slight preference of homosexuals to heterosexuals.

Your data suggest a slight implicit preference for Black People compared to White People.

Hmm. I only made like 2 mistakes though.

Your data suggests: Little to no automatic preference between White people and Black people.

I made a shitload of mistakes. I have a feeling that this "test" doesn't really tell us anything though.

Of course I'm subconsciously bigoted, I know that even without taking the test - it's been subtly hammered into me, and everyone else, in various small ways as I grew up. Nothing surprising that, and I'm genuinely jealous of anyone who doesn't have to consciously repress some bigoted thoughts every now and then.

Apparently I have a slight subconscious preference for Hungarians towards Romani. Again, not surprised at that, casual racism against Romani is much less "uncool" than bigotry against other groups even in liberal circles. Will maybe try a few others, although I'm not sure about how good the methodology of the test is.

Edit: Got "moderately strong" in the gay-straight test. That's weird - as a former heterosexual gone bisexual, and having always had less prejudice towards gays than Romani even when I was still young and susceptible to idiocy, that's not the result I had expected. Though to be fair, I was getting tired and it was getting harder to concentrate by the end, so not sure how much it matters.

Wow, I suck.

Someone kill me, I'm a subconscious nazi!

At least, the fact my friends call me "Male feminist" is correct.
