These tests are amusing, but I wouldn't put too much weight onto them.

I randomly picked one about attitudes towards homosexuality. Then it showed I associated some negative things with that (like "homosexuals are more often depressed" or whatever). It was not clear to me that this indicates negative attitudes on my part. Rather, I have read a lot about homosexuals having problems, so when the test presented me with such issues, of course I thought about them. That doesn't imply I think every homosexual is depressed (or whatever).

Not saying the tests are not interesting, but I think they are biased in their interpretation. They don't necessarily show what the test designers think they show.
