Racism Test

Most people who type am I racist into a search bar are not looking for a label. They want to know what happens in the moments they rarely examine. This racism test answers with a single score from 0 to 100 and shows where it comes from. Bias toward people of another race seldom sits in loud opinions. It hides in first impressions, comfort zones and quick guesses.

What the result measures

Your result opens with an overall racial bias score from 0 to 100, built from four parts that are scored separately. Gut reactions cover the first seconds with a stranger: an impression that shifts with race, tensing up on a dark street, trusting your own background a little faster. Distance and discomfort show how close you let people of another race get, from small talk at a party to a flatmate or a new family member. Stereotypes and beliefs cover the group labels that feel like common sense and the guesses a news story triggers. Blind spots show what happens when someone points out a remark. People often look for an implicit bias test because the hidden part matters most, and these four parts bring it into view.

How it works and how to read your score

There are twenty-eight short statements, and most people finish in about seven minutes. For each one you choose how much you agree, from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. Ten statements describe the opposite, low-bias reaction, such as noticing a person's manner long before their race, and are scored in reverse, so quick answers stay accurate. Unlike a racial bias quiz that hands out one vague label, this one shows the parts behind the number. Your result includes:

• your racial bias score from 0 to 100 with a plain label: low bias, some hidden bias or strong bias;
• separate scores for gut reactions, distance, stereotypes and blind spots;
• the part that drives your score and the one that is already low;
• a comparison with other people who answered the same statements.

Answer for what you actually do, not for what you think you should do. Many people arrive expecting a plain yes or no. What they find is more useful: a clear map of where bias lives in their day and one habit that would lower the number fastest.
