I apparently prefer white people to black, prefer neither gay people nor straight people, associate women with math and science, and men with liberal arts. This is all pretty unsurprising, since I took the black/white test first and was so totally WTFed to see one race classified as "good" and the other "bad" (I, uh...had not read the instructions) that my concentration was shattered, am pretty okay with gayness (I think...but then again, I THOUGHT that I wasn't a racist!), and am a male liberal arts major who probably couldn't pass a ninth grade math or science class. So...hmmmm. Probably mostly accurate.
I'm not so sure about those tests. The first one I took (disabilities) was pretty eye-opening, but by the second and moreso the third, I could anticipate the test's patterns pretty easily and choose the right categories accordingly.
Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Dark Skin compared to Light Skin.
