Also, just to put it out there...

Naturally there are some problems with validity and reliability, among other things, but I figure it's fun and interesting all the same.

I definitely noticed some variances in my class with the reasoning people used to answer the questions. Some people who scored as much less accepting than me had reasoning I 100% agree with, but interpreted the question in a different way and answered differently than I did. One example is in the last change about interracial marriage. One person cited answering "not much difference" because she didn't think race has anything to do with whether someone will be a good parent.

There's not an ounce of that I disagree with, and if I had answered the question according to what impact I felt it had on parenting, I would have answered the same thing. But instead I answered about what I thought that change does/would represent in society at large (less racial discrimination and de facto segregation, for example). So, although I do not think an interracial marriage is better than an intraracial marriage, I think more interracial marriage (particularly considering the racial and ethnic composition of this country) would be "good for society."

If you had a different way of interpretting the questions or reasoning behind your answers, I'd be interested in hearing

I got 97% as well. I guess I'm tolerant? I dunno. I don't deal well with change in general, but I'm accepting of different beliefs so long as people don't try to mess with mine in return. I figure I'll handle my family in the way that's best for my family and others should do the same. *shrug* I guess that's a form of acceptance.

I got a 42%. I don't think of myself as closed-minded. They must not give much weight to my "doesn't make much difference" answers.

I got 98%. The only one I thought would be really bad was the single parent one. I feel like being a single parent, who has to work and take care of kids leaves too much to chance regarding the children. I am married and I still have a hard time getting everything to work out like I want it to. I am not sure if I could be a single parent.

I got 55% but if I change everything that I marked as "doesn't make much difference" to "good thing for society" that score jumps to 94%. I left the ones I marked as "bad thing for society" alone between the two.

To me there is no difference between two people raising a child married or unmarried, the only difference is a piece of paper and some some legal right (which can be obtained other ways). You can guess my view of unmarried cohabitation from that.

Same goes for the interracial marriage, race shouldn't have a thing to do with it (I say shouldn't because the truth is in many cases it does).

I think the working mothers of young children outside of the home is a poorly worded question, I think it should focus on A parent staying home not particularly the mother.

I got 68%. I don't think it was because I was intolerant, I think it was just because there were things that I didn't think mattered very much.

Oh and just so everyone knows, feel free to take it multiple times and compare results, they have already done the real survey and this is simply how you compare against the results they collected.

I got: You are more accepting of changes in family structure than 55% of the public.

I am 91% more accepting of these things than the public. I'm of the personal mindset that children need role models of both genders, not just one or the other.

I got a 94%.

I found it hard to answer those questions because they're so intricate. They're really questions that are more conducive to starting a conversation rather than clicking a button. I chose "I don't know" for comments like more women having children without partners, because it really could go either way. It could be better or worse....

I got a 30%, said I'm a skeptic.
