Your data suggest a slight automatic association between male and science.

Not suprising given the university I went to.

How do you know if they took that into account? Did you ask them? They ask how many tests you've completed so they obviously are aware of that factor.

I took a similar test as part of a Psychology class (we were required to be guinea pigs in ~15 hours of experiments).

I had a hard time taking the test this time. I'm an extremely 'right-oriented' person. I can barely dribble a basketball with my left hand, let alone assign it "good" characteristics.

"How do you know if they took that into account? Did you ask them? They ask how many tests you've completed so they obviously are aware of that factor."

How would you take that into account, and not risk understating anti-minority prejudice? Moreover, this is not an objective website; searching their function you can see it is frinedly to affirmative action. It also seems to be in favor of gay rights. This definitely seems to be a site that might want to overplay a supposed "Hidden Bias"

"I had a hard time taking the test this time. I'm an extremely 'right-oriented' person. I can barely dribble a basketball with my left hand, let alone assign it "good" characteristics."

Another factor this test might not take into account.

"Shi Huangdi, we probably should not take the test so seriously in the literal sense, but it might give some idea, to some extent, on what your biases are."

You can if you like. I personally am not inclined to trust this test.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I tried doing the test, and I got an inconclusive result, due to too many errors.

ACK
