I think the results are very much in line with society's views. But that doesn't make it right.

One thing to note however, these tests are designed to expose your underlying subconscience pre-dispositions. They do not label someone a homophobe, or a rasist, etc. They simply expose what your "natural" instinct is, whether it be "natural" or "societal" in origin.

My comment about people bragging about their homophobia stems not from the test results (of course most people in America will lean towards the gay=bad side because we're raised in a society that treats gays poorly), but from the fact that people are basically hi-fiving themselves for finding out they're subconsciencly pre-disposed to hating gays. IMO, finding out something like that should be more of an eye-opener and something that sparks some introspection about the color of the lenses through which you view the world.
