Can You ID A Person's Racial/ethnic Background?
I scored horribly on this test. I'd love to hear how you perform.
This quiz is a series of photos where you are asked to determine the persons race or ethnicity. As the author puts it:
Usually, mislabeling amounts to nothing more than an awkward experience for one or both individuals involved. But in some contexts, such as in the medical field - where exam results, dignoses, and treatment plans may depend on racial categories - the results of mislabeling can be much more signficant such as missed diagnoses, incorrect diagnoses and/or inappropriate treatment protocols.

i think I got like 4 or 5..
I have yet to see anyone get as much as half right but everyone thinks they'll do better than they end up doing.
