This is a PC test not a racist test, every question is tainted towards everything thing being racist. A true test would have been balanced and not assumed all racism situation and outcomes.

I scored a 147, funny, growing up in a real ghetto in south jersey, and have a very diverse group of friends these test always make me laugh.

Test is crazy I got 139 , but I took it anyway. Reminds of me Soc 101, Racial and ethnic relations, the only class in college I was ever kicked out of and that was because the first time it was speech day I gave a speech on how the professor was wrong in saying that race did not exist and showing genetically and medically how it did and then quoting Lincoln talking about how none of these factors should play into subjugation or discrimination. Was booted out of the class the next day. The instructor had the College vice president do it too for me spreading racism and unrest in the class.

You have, unfortunately, succumbed to some stereotypes and institututionally racist/colorist conditioning by our education system specifically, along with the rest of society. Your score, while not as low as that of others, must improve if you'll do some self-inquiry to determine why your low self esteem causes you to scapegoat others and blame someone else for your own problems. Discuss the questions with low scores with others in open forum at the time of RQ testing.


You need, as soon as possible, to seek psychological counselling so that your levels of hostility and willingness to shunt your own reponsibility for your own behavior and beliefs onto others can be revealed to you.

These statements are offensive in the extreme.
They are doing to the responders what they are asking the responders not to do.

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations.
You are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we agree on something, that'll be great.

Corny, but true.

Score was 147, btw.

Some of these questions appear they would probably give you a low rating for things that have absolutely nothing to do with racism. For example, I will assume that the correct answer when at a party would be to go up and start talking to people, when (If you're shy), you would probably more likely wait for someone to talk to you regardless of their race. For a survey claiming to shed some light on what people think and how they act, it seems to not understand an awful lot...

Exactly--another example of what I was talking about. This is just stupid really.

I got 170, but honestly, some of those questions in and of themselves seem racist. My (hypothetical) kid brings home a new friend I've never seen before? I'm going to keep a close eye on them for a while regardless of what colour he/she is, they might be fantastic or they might be trouble, race having nothing to do with it. That's just one example, but honestly, the test itself was weird. I guess I don't understand the kind of person who would pick a political candidate or whatever based on race. Why even pay attention to that when there are, you know, views and issues to consider? O_o

I just saw your prior post above. I agree. The whole thing seems rather odd and poorly thought out. It's almost (And I hate to say this) like it's orchestrated so that people would fail... I answered that question the same way as well, and I see nothing racist about that at all.

I think you're right.
I propose a title change: "Are you easily influenced and coerced into picking predefined "right" answers so you don't look like an ***hole to a bunch of random strangers? Take the test and find out!"

I scored 152. Not complaining at my score, as I'm not racist, but this test is a bit of a joke. Most of the answers to the questions aren't mutually exclusive. For example:

Quote

You are invited to a "racially" mixed picnic. Everyone has been asked to bring a sample of their own ethnic cuisine. Having no dietary restrictions, you would probably:

• A. Bring something that is commonly accepted among all ethnic groups.
  
• B. Eat only what you have brought; you are a little suspicious of what ingredients are in some of the other dishes.
  
• C. Be curious and willing to sample a little of what everyone else has brought.
  
• D. Question what is in each dish before deciding whether you will sample it.

Well in my case, I'd do A, C and D. I'd bring a dish I think everyone would like (what sort of a person wouldn't?), I'd try everyone else's stuff, and I'd also ask what was in the dishes, in case I don't like one of the ingredients (high amounts of dairy in my case). Also, option B could be possible, but it's certainly not race specific. If I were suspicious of anyone at a picnic, regardless of the colour of their skin (or sexuality, disabilities, etc, etc), I probably wouldn't eat what they'd offer.

test too long to take, I hope someone doesn't say anything racist.

I would choose B
B. Eat only what you have brought; you are a little suspicious of what ingredients are in some of the other dishes.
and what ever else I know, I am an extremely picky eater, if you bring authentic Vietnamese food, or Indian, or russian, or whatever, I probably wont eat it, because I hate new stuff not because im racist

though there is some cake a russian lady makes whenever its someones birthday, that I always eat. She just calls it "russian cake" but its so ****ing good.

Honestly I don't care about races. Some of those questions needed an I don't care option.
