I like tests like these that can potentially point to internalized prejudices and biases. Knowing one's biases can cause pain and disappointment if we see that what we think of ourselves, and what we truly are, are two different things.
However, having taken one test (just now), I was left with the feeling that these tests may probably not be very accurate for everyone. When I tried it, I did it more from a memory point of view to associate the word and category. I didn't even think about the sequences and any implicit connections. Of course, my result came as "little or no bias", which I do agree with because I have thought about these for a long time and have been contemplating biases (and biased thoughts/decisions) that were not clearly obvious in the past. What I'm not sure of is the applicability of this methodology for all kinds of people.
