The test is biased because it first trains you to associate good and European, then switches it, which messes you up. I bet if they reversed the order, most people would have the opposite outcome.
The test said that i am a racist how ever that doesn't mean i have to be racist.Just b/c subconsciously i prefer white people doesn't mean i can override it with my logic or conscious.I guess what i am saying is if you are a subconscious racist don't sweat it.your not a slave to your emotions.
oh jesus. at first they try and f**k with you by confusing hair style and so on. i guess they're trying to see if you fit the profile of somebody who can recognize native american traits... the, well, onto obvious cultural imagesalso they want all your personal infowhat a load of creepy crap. now they have my age and address to collate to my email address -- it wouldn't surprise me if in these paranoid times that's all they wanted
I love how all the people saying true things on here are getting buried and all the people talking about how screwy the test is and how fake it is and all are getting digg up like crazy
Wow, thanks Harvard for narrowing my college possibility list down.Too bad for you guys; I'm not going to be applying anymore.I guess I'm just "moderately racist" towards this college after I took the test, I apologize.One thing I really don't understand about this test as well is that it automatically categorizes things like happy and joyful with good and anguish and fear with bad.Some people don't feel that way, making this test biased from the start.I'm not one of those people though.

Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between Light Skin and Dark Skin. Haha.
