7 right - guess I’m not bright enought to be a racist.
- Some of these people went both ways though, for example, the woman with light skin who had Anglo features who was biracial and chose to call herself black, or the woman with stark white skin and blue eyes who was Hispanic. It was interesting, but some of the people who called themselves a certain race just did not fit into our preconceptions of what that race looks like. It’s not really an issue of “I wasn’t good enough to get it right”.
3 right. It was really tough for me. Even looking at the bigger pictures.
I got 12, but only because I KNEW that the whole point of this exercise was to “prove” that you can’t tell anything by looking.
That is, I did well by putting people in the least likely categories. (“This person doesn’t look black at all, so he/she MUST be black!”) Truth to tell, if I’d gone by my first impressions, I’d have flunked.
Whenever a test is put together by people with an agenda, it’s easy to ace it, once you’ve figured out what their agenda is.
Only six. Could they have chosen a more ambiguous bunch of people?
I like the Palestinian guy (classified as “white”, by the way) who identified himself as “human”.
I got seven right, and not necessarily the ones about which I was more confident.
I got 9.
Same here. And that one white woman is scary when you bring up the larger picture.
But can Romulans do the Vulcan Nerve Pinch?
I got 5 right.
6 right the first time… then I realized that you could enlarge the pictures by clicking on them, and I did it over again. 7 the second time; I suspect because of the scary looking white woman!
I got 11 right, by using ** astorian’s ** method of placing people in groups that they looked like they didn’t belong too.
11 right (but I did it before, a few days ago, I think I scored less then, but don’t know exactly)

Me too, but it seems to be US policy (the racial categories are listed on the site). Participants in experiments at my university have to fill in an ethnic thingy sheet (which surprised me in the first place) and Hispanic/Latino is mentioned there too (which was the second surprise).

Three correct.
I got six.
