Think You're Not Biased Against Women Leaders? Take the Test
Biases, and the stereotypes on which they are based, are a powerful obstacle for women seeking leadership positions. Researchers have found that stereotypes about leadership are decidedly masculine. Although people are less likely to have explicit biases today than in the past, implicit or unconscious bias remains powerful.
Most people have some implicit bias about gender and gender roles. Even people who strongly value gender equity and would prefer to see more women in leadership positions may find that their implicit biases work against their intentions.
If asked, most of us would say that discrimination against women in the workplace is wrong and unacceptable. Unfortunately, research shows that treating women and men equally in hiring decisions, job evaluations, and leadership positions is more of an ideal than a reality. So if we agree that sex discrimination is wrong, why is it still happening? One answer is that many of us harbor unconscious biases that can affect our judgment, even though we may be unaware of them. Uncovering these unconscious, or implicit, biases can be the first step to eliminating them.
So how do we uncover them? AAUW has collaborated with Project Implicit and Harvard University researchers to create a test that looks at the mental associations we make between gender and a variety of concepts, many of which affect our beliefs about women in positions of leadership.

... vote for the candidate who has just one issue in his arsenal. 
have libertarian tendencies. 
I'm not. There for I must be a sexist. Coincidence? I think not!
Nice that what I'm thinking doesn't even enter into the discussion, have a lovely day!
I got:
"Your data suggest a slight association of Male with Supporter and Female with Leader"
No wonder I'm for Hillary! 
Second, how dare you presume to instruct me about gender bias, especially when you have to dishonestly put the word "sexist" in quotation marks so to do."
Third, my post had nothing to do with racism. Why did your reply?
Fourth, if you are proud of your gender bias and challenge people to be even more biased than you, I can do nothing but be sad for you and anyone like you and use the ignore function.
Please try to do better.
I took the test (got even support m/f) - but I think the order of the tests can bias results (since it's a response test), unless they compensate for becoming familiar with the 'game'.
There should be a 'practice' example before you take it. And no, I don't want to take it again ....
(Read about the Milgram experiment sometime...the participants were told that the purpose of the study was to measure negative-feedback as a learning tool ("Does receiving a shock when answering incorrectly encourage the shock recipient to retain information better in order to answer correctly in subsequent rounds of questioning?"
...in reality, what was being measured was the willingness of participants (the "Teacher" or shock-giver; all shock-recipients ("learners" were actors and no actual shocks were administered.) to engage in what they believe to be a lethal act because they were told to do it by an authority figure.)
Pretty often. Part of that is and has to be to conceal what is actually being measured and how the metric is being quantified, even after participation is finished so that participants cannot "give away" the methodology to future participants.
In this case, I don't have to think. After my previous response (where I supposed that switching the order of the sections and which attributes were assigned to which hand initially would flip the results), I pulled the code of the page curious to see what they had done to address that potential issue. The section order is arbitrary between two order-sets so they did address that...but there is no code or javascript in that page for measuring the response time of keystrokes. They're not measuring the speed of anything...they want you, as participant, to think they are so they can protect their study methodology from tampering or being gamed to produce the result desired by the participant.
I know I am biased against one certain woman. Extremely biased.
need to worry about whether she has a gender bias. 
I was not even in the same universe as implying you need to work harder as host of the Warren Group! Anyway I'm guessing that most of the Warren Group trolls probably left her group to start trolling the Bernie group as soon as most of the members of the Warren Group started supporting Bernie for President. It's only if she challenged the PTB or seemed a threat to Hillary that they beserked.
If I'm right, there's probably very little to do in that group anyway.
if you don't like it ignore the post and have a nice day. 
My results showed a slight bias toward women as leaders and men as supporters. In fact, most of my immediate superiors have been women, so I guess that explains it.
Thanks 
I was genuinely curious and was as fast and accurate as possible. I figured I'd get a neutral result, and was surprised by the assessment. Maybe Hillary's not woman enough for my support. 
If there's a bias, it seems that women are more vulnerable to it.
I am a leader and I'm a woman. That's why I know a fraud when I see one and am supporting Bernie!!
