Animals are not prejudice. This should be enough of an answer.  ; )

No body asked me to take this test...

I think we scored lower in 2010!!!

I bet this test was not a double blind test. Opinion tests are not tests but are justifications for opinions that prejudicial folk have to “prove” their opinions are “true” so that they have a platform of “authority” from which to damn the world and preach the gospel of radicalism. “Idiocracy”  (the movie) presented a world based on the vision of senselessness becoming a popular cultural direction in a future scenario. I’m not betting on fantasy land realities.   

I would bet that according to the results, we have devolved. But, like Robert Grist said, there are certain procedures for these sorts of tests, in order for them to have any reliability or validity.

The developmental psychology of folk over a span of time is a considerable influence of the test subjects. 1960 to 2010 is fifty years!  So how old were the folk involved in the first test in 1960? and second test in 2010. We have stats on attitudes over time in developmental psychology and these state are updated periodically to see how various trends and influences affect cultures.  That was part of the UN WHO studies but these studies have been sketchy due to funding variables. For a while the CIA world fact book was pretty good but the UK was better. Their studies were out of Oxford mostly. From my experience we seem to be doing better than ever and there seems to be lots of optimism that was not present after the mid-1950s. The Nuclear threat was in your face everyday then.
