After reading the article on "Hidden Bias", I took a few tests on the site...
I took the Presidents test, and it said I had no preference of Trump over Nixon. That said, I'm not a huge fan of Nixon, but I very adamantly dislike Trump, so that was surprising and disturbing to me.
Then, I took the Religion test. It said I disliked Christianity and slightly favored Islam over Judaism. My upbringing was Catholic, so the dislike for Christianity fits. But I was surprised to find out about favoring Islam over Judaism, because I feel pretty neutral about religions besides Christianity.
Finally, I took the sexuality quiz. It really shocked me that the results said I slightly favored straight people to gay people, because I'm pansexual, so that was a wake up call for sure. During this test especially, I kept messing up and losing focus, which could attribute to the results. That said, the article on "Hidden Bias" specifically says to not disregard the results just because it's something I don't want to hear.
I find the bias tests extremely interesting and also very draining mentally. I would love to see these regularly implemented into the school systems and workplaces but especially in "artistic" areas where everyone hides behind a shroud of accepting liberalism, so it's easy to overlook our own biases.
