As part of a upcoming training course I have had to do a couple of tests about implicit bias from Harvard. Because they are fairly short and in the public domain I thought I'd put the link up.

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/research/

Up to this point I have discovered I hate young people and vaguely resent fat people.

I'm not biased, I hate everyone equally.

I did the first test. It was fun!
Apparently i have a [i]slight[/i] bias towards thinking men are more scientific than women. I never knew that.

Ah, but do you really? You may need to discover your misanthropy is lopsided. Some people may not be enjoying as much of your hate as others. Why miss this chance of learning who you need to hate more to balance things out?!

I don't need a test to tell me my biases!

I think most young people are a waste of space and agree on the fat people thing.

Your data suggest a slight preference for Black People compared to White People

I've done one of these before, I find the trouble with them or with most surveys that require introspection is that the result is heavily dependant on your mood, what happened to day e.t.c.

Interesting, I just recently heard about these sort of tests and implicit bias training on the This American Life podcast when talking about police forces. I did the Obama one first off - I apparently have a moderate bias towards him over JFK.
