I agree, I think the way the test changes up the categories and placement cause more errors due to confusion coupled with trying to do them fast, than anything in our subconscience. When I was taking them I was forcing my brain to remember patterns, and forcing my mind to be biased in order to get the right answers. For instance during the black/violent objects stage I forced my mind to keep that image up front. Then when it switched I forced my mind to keep a violent white image up front. whether or not I made more mistakes on one then the other probably had more to do with which test I took first, since the second time I was unlearning the last pattern as well as learning the new.

Its possible that there is more in our subconscince driving our choices, but this test is hardly conclusive of that. Also having read the article before taking the exams has to have had some effect. If I know what they are looking for, I'm going to try harder to not fall into their bias or vice versa depending on if I agreed with them. If I were taking the test cold without knowing the test creator's bias it might have been a better test.
