10 QUESTIONS · HONEST ANSWERS REQUIRED · NO DATA COLLECTED
⚠ This quiz measures self-reported attitudes and reactions. It is not a clinical instrument. It cannot detect implicit bias.
It will only be as accurate as you are honest with yourself.
Question 1 of 10
When you find out someone's race, religion, or nationality, does it change how you assume they'll behave before you know anything else about them?
Think about your first, automatic reaction — not the version of yourself you'd like to be.
Question 2 of 10
When a member of a group you distrust does something bad, how do you process it?
This is about pattern recognition versus generalization.
Question 3 of 10
Have you ever told or laughed at a joke that relied on a stereotype for its punchline — about race, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability?
Be honest. This is a near-universal experience. The question is about what you do with that.
Question 4 of 10
If your child told you they were in a serious relationship with someone from a different racial, religious, or cultural background than your own, what would your honest first reaction be?
Your actual gut reaction — not the socially acceptable answer.
Question 5 of 10
When you encounter a person from a group you hold negative views about who seems kind, intelligent, or accomplished, how do you process that?
This is the "exception test" — one of the most reliable indicators of prejudice.
Question 6 of 10
Do you believe certain racial, religious, or ethnic groups are inherently more prone to criminal behavior, laziness, violence, or intellectual inferiority?
This question is about core beliefs, not discomfort with crime statistics or policy debates.
Question 7 of 10
Have you ever been rude, dismissive, or unkind to someone in a service or public role — and later wondered if their identity played a role in how you treated them?
This is about behavior, not just belief.
Question 8 of 10
When someone from a marginalized group describes experiencing discrimination, what is your default reaction?
Think about your internal response, not what you say out loud.
Question 9 of 10
Think about your five closest friends or colleagues. Do they all share your racial, religious, or cultural background?
Homogeneous networks aren't automatically bigotry, but they can be a useful signal.
Question 10 of 10
When you took this quiz, what was your gut reaction to some of the questions?
This is a meta-question. Self-awareness is itself a meaningful data point.
