This is a neat test to see if you're sexist. Don't panic, though. There's no way to be declared "not sexist". It's just a barometer.

Here's my results (don't read if you get offended by this stuff):

[spoiler]Hostile Sexism Score: 5.00
Benevolent Sexism Score: 0.36


What do my scores mean?

The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory measures two separate but related tendencies:
• "Hostile sexism," which involves negative feelings toward women
• "Benevolent sexism," a knight-in-shining armor ideology that offers protection and affection to women who conform to traditional gender roles (e.g., cute girlfriend, obedient wife, etc.)
Scores on each dimension can vary from 0 to 5, and although there is no fixed point that divides sexist and nonsexist people, higher ASI scores are related to greater degrees of sexism. For example, people with high levels of hostile sexism are more likely than others to hold negative stereotypes about career women, and they express attitudes that are more tolerant of sexual harassment and spousal abuse of women.

In contrast, high scores on benevolent sexism are not related to overt measures of hostility toward women. Nevertheless, benevolent sexism can turn ugly when women venture beyond traditional gender roles. For instance, one study found that benevolent sexists were more likely than others to blame a female victim for being raped after she invited a man into her apartment (presumably because the victim's behavior violated norms of female chastity).
[/spoiler]

So you see. The only reason I posted this was for my Psych class.

I am neutrality, true freedom for all I say.

Your score doesn't surprise me Ix. You are right about the not sexist part, just like it's not possible to be completely unoffensive.

For the hostile yeah, but the benevolent should be high for him. Being a protector of women is a benevolent form of sexism (the assumption that women need protecting, well more than men). The whole knight in shining armor deal is technically a bit sexist when generalized, though no one said the knight must be male :).

... Blast! How is it that someone has a higher score in benevolence than I?! Who's the knight in shining armor around here, Genji? *angry steam appears above SK's head*




@Kajak and thetruecoolness - .... As to explaining my unusually high hostility score, .... well, ummmmmm ............

... The test itself made a mistake when measuring the side of me that is hostile. ... Yeah, that's it!

EDIT:

I noticed that the first thing I did was compare my score to the Average Female instead of the Average Male. That has to be some type of sexism.

While many of us would expect, accept, or agree with our results, I wonder WHO gets to decide what is sexist.

So don't box yourself into your score.

Well being a fairly simplistic test I would say neither. But lower is 'better', meaning you're more neutral.

1.45 for both, which i figure is nicely balanced.

/shrug

i also compared myself against the average female first. but i did it because the average female bar was closer to my bar than the average male. call me simplistic, but eh.
