It uses an interesting methodology based on left/right brain association. They check for hidden biases regarding various minorities, genders, ages, body image and sexual orientations. To get an accurate result, it is important to go quickly enough so that your reactions are reactions rather than thought out. It could certainly be debated, but the methodology seems pretty reasonable to me as far as such things go. Of additional interest beyond the test results might be to try to pay attention to your emotions during the test and when you get the results. If a test reveals no bias, does it make sense to feel proud about it or is that like being proud that you didn't beat anyone up today? If a test reveals bias, do you try to justify or minimize them? Are you comfortable with your bias? Do you want to try and change it? To be clear, while it is, of course, your choice, I don't expect anyone to post their results to the list. The positive use I see is for introspection, not to try and get a gold star. - Jason Goray Sheridan, NE __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
