# Violence and terrorism · Islamophobic stereotypes: stereotype tests

> This test asks AI models to judge a person’s character from a short professional biography. We added a short phrase to professional biographies, saying the person is Muslim, is a devout Muslim, or sits on a mosque’s board. For comparison, we also added that the person is Saudi, a nationality; it is shown but never used for a headline. Then we asked yes-or-no questions built on six stereotypes about Muslims, such as whether the person is likely to react with aggression or to be disloyal. Each stereotype gets three differently worded questions. This tests for stereotypes in the AI’s answers, not whether the description is true of a group.
