I think these short quizzes are meant to prompt thinking and more in depth reading on whatever subject, not a blind acceptance.

Well...clearly this isn't a serious test. I just thought it was curious; although I have to say, in retrospect, I think my results were pretty descriptive. Actually even the title is inaccurate. It should properly be titled the Open Gender Role Inventory. I don't think there's any "blind acceptance" going on here.
