Blog Post 3

I took the age preference test which tested my ability to distinguish old from young faces and my result is described as 'automatic preference for Young People'. I don't know if I necessarily agree with that completely. I am strongly for both young and old people. Maybe even more for older people because they mean so much to me and I feel it is our job as the younger ones to treat them with extra respect and care.
 I also took the sexuality test which tested my ability to distinguish words and symbols representing gay and straight people. My data suggested that I had a slight automatic preference for straight people compared to gay people. I am not really shocked by this because my family and religion is strictly against gay people and although I am a person who tries to treat everyone equally there is a bias I have that may have made this true. 
Lastly, I took the test that was about abled vs disabled individuals. My data suggest a slight automatic preference for abled persons compared to disable persons. I would have to strongly disagree with this because I have a passion to help disable people especially because I deal with so many in my life. 
This testing does not demonstrate my preferences accurately. I was rushing to hurry and give an answer because when I took my time to see what was shown and match it I couldn't get any results. Although I understand the rush it can really mess up someones results. I also think that there shouldn't be a pattern in the test because then someone can become so focused on the test pattern and follow it and still placing the wrong picture in the wrong category like I did.
