Alena Delval, Week 3, bias test

I took the test for bias in sexuality. The results were that I have no bias for straight or gay based off of the word association. The test itself was hard and doesn’t seem as accurate as I thought it would be. It uses a select amount of words and only focuses on straight or gay men/people. That in itself is limiting. I am more curious about my results if the test was more in depth rather than a speed based, color recognition game. As someone who spends significant amount of times playing games that function similar to the test, although it is a game rather than a test for bias, the test felt much more like a simple game. I do not think that any given “test” can truly measure how accurate someone’s bias is.

From what the article had stated that was not the truth. It was merely one persons  interpretation of what a bracero was, b...
