CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It screens for three patterns of gender bias: hostile reactions toward women, protective attitudes that can limit women’s agency, and beliefs that women and men belong in different roles.
How should the results be interpreted?
Results provide three separate score-band interpretations, one for each pattern. They indicate tendencies in responses and do not serve as a diagnosis or a final judgment of character.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
It contains 15 questions and usually takes about 10 minutes to complete.
What is the best way to answer the questions?
Answer based on typical beliefs and reactions rather than what seems socially acceptable. Use the first response that fits without extended analysis.
Can scores change over time?
Scores can vary with context, recent experiences, and increased awareness. Repeating the quiz after a period of reflection can show changes in patterns.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Am I Sexist Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

This free, no-sign-up self-reflection quiz explores how gender bias can appear in both openly hostile and positive-sounding beliefs. Across 15 questions, it measures antagonistic reactions toward women, protective attitudes that may limit women’s agency, and assumptions that women and men naturally belong in different roles. You will receive three separate score-band interpretations. This purity-test-style exercise is not a diagnosis or a final verdict on your character; it is a prompt to notice patterns and consider their effects.
