After taking the hidden bias test, I was pretty interested by the results. The results showed that I prefer Whites more than Blacks. I was shocked by the results and think that although there may be some bias involved, I don't think that the test can really depict them. The test just broke things or people up into four groups. I don't feel like they can find a bias by asking you to put the people into a specified group. I could guess that there would be a bias though because I have grown up my whole life in a community that is mostly white and along the way there have been a few different races that have stepped in to my life. I wouldn't say that I'm leaning completely towards whites because I have friends that are different races and view them the exact same way as anyone else. Even when I was younger I grew up with a neighbor and good friend that was black. So I feel like this test might find some bias, but I don't think that the results that were shown were right. Also at the end it had a survey that asked questions like "what religion are you?" or "how religious are you?" And by those answers I think they can alter the final result and place you into a different category. Do I think the test was completely right? No but I do think it was a good test but had flaws.
