Yeah something seems a little off with the tests. I have completed 3 so far and they tell me that I have some preference for one type of body lotion over another type. I am consciously certain that I have absolutely no preference for any type of body lotion but apparently my subconscious believes otherwise.
The body lotion tests could be there as a control, to see if results on this are all over the place, while the things like race show consistent bias.
Edit: Incidentally, apparently I'm a massive subconscious racist. It was easier to hit the right keys when white people and positive words were on the same side, but I don't know how much this was because I'd gotten used to the game by then.
Edited by caffeine, : No reason given.
