Tolerance

We like to think of ourselves as tolerant human beings. How much tolerant we really are is usually revealed when we encounter people of different beliefs, religion or even physical features than ours.

Only then can we check how open-minded we are. Obviously, in the society like the Polish one, with almost no national and other minorities it may be hard to perform the tolerance test. Luckily, many Poles nowadays travel and live abroad and are exposed to different cultures and lifestyles. In this way, travelling broadens the mind and teaches tolerance.



The human species is incredibly diverse, yet we normally interact with people that are very similar to ourselves. We can all make judgments about specific kinds of people, often without realising it. Stereotypes can affect everyone. After all, one person's idea of normal can amaze someone else and this is reflected in the answer types that attempt to encompass the full range of opinions. It is in no way intended to cause offence through these answer types, especially when the question concerns a sensitive topic. This test was written to explore people's attitudes to diversity of human life and in no way represents an opinion on any of the topics raised in the questions.
