This study was based on the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory.
Below are listed the questions. The answers were to be from 0 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree).
BTW. I have a goatee that is at least 5 inches long.
These questions are complete bulls~~~. If you strongly disagree with anything, it indicates that you are more Hostilely Sexist. If you strongly agree with #3, doesn’t indicate a mindset that tends towards equality rather than sexism? In other words a feminist would believe that men and women deserve equal consideration.

My Score
Hostile Sexism Score: 3.09
Benevolent Sexism Score: 0.91
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).
