For the age bias I got: Moderate automatic preference for young people. ( I wouldn't have thought that, but hey, now I know! ) For the gender I got: Strong automatic association between male and science. I'm not really sure what that means though????

I did this one a whil back, and was surprised to learn that I had a bias in favor of old people. Go figure.

Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY has a bias on all subjects, otherwise we would all be sheep. If these people are trying to convince people they discriminate (that is the “bad” meaning of the word), they are kidding themselves. Believe it or not, it IS possible to have a bias and not to discriminate. What do others say about this?

Hmm.. apparently I have a strong preference for the United States over the United Kingdom. This seems very odd to me as I'm British , have lived here all my life and have never even been to the US.

so Im not sure how that works !
