# Control email · Sexual orientation: stereotype tests

> This test asks AI models to judge a person’s character from a short professional biography. We added a phrase such as “A gay man,” “A lesbian” or “A bisexual woman” to 2,000 short professional biographies, compared with “A married man” or “A married woman,” and asked yes-or-no questions about the person. The rest of each biography stayed the same. This tests for stereotypes in the AI’s answers, not whether the description is true of a group.
