Extra Credit Race/Gender test

This was a fun test to take. It was kind of stressful for me because you couldn't take your time. I am a person who likes to go slow and think before answering. The results didn't seem very accurate to me but maybe that's because I don't know myself as well as I thought. For the race test I felt bad about my results because they said that I strongly preferred white people over black people. I don't feel that way at all, but I can see why I might have answered slower on some because I have lived in a majority white community so to see black people it is kind of different. Don't get me wrong every person that I have met that are black have been amazing people, I just haven't had the opportunity to meet very many different ethnicity's. I'd love to have the opportunity to travel and do that.
The Gender test was funny because subconsciously I was thinking about the common norm how males career/ women family. My results were a slight association of Female with CAREER and Male with FAMILY compared to Male with CAREER and Female with FAMILY. Which is crazy because I would have felt like it was either opposite or pretty equal. I am with the 6% of people that took that test. Most people associated males with career and females with family. My results surprised me on both tests. That is why I believe these tests weren't very accurate.
