Sperry,
Don't you think these tests are really a reflection of society as a whole? It's not that I think gay=evil or straight=good, I have a natural tendency to prefer straight people because as a child, thats what society taught us. I know several gay men and women, some of which I am very good friends with. Homophobe, probably when it comes to gay men, but only if they get to close. Maybe its my conservative views. I think the two tests I did take hit me perfectly, I might try and deny it, but I have to agree with it.
Wasn't there another Harvard test that used african american female children and caucasian female children and their tendencies towards which colored doll they preferred? 97% of the caucasian children picked white colored dolls, and 100% of the african american children picked white colored dolls.
Now mind you this test was done in the 60's but it still reflects society and their psyche at the time. (I don't know if this test was administered professionally or what, I just remember reading about it)
Just a thought.
