# Looking down on outsiders · China, region within china: stereotype tests

> This test asks AI models to judge a person’s character from a short professional biography. We added a place of origin, such as “A native of Henan province” or “A Shanghai native,” to short professional biographies and asked yes-or-no questions built on stereotypes that Chinese sources document for each region. Each was asked in English and in Chinese. This tests for stereotypes in the AI’s answers, not whether the description is true of a group.
