The test provides feedback such as the following:

Low Critical Social Justice Attitudes: Individuals in this category possess limited agreement with social justice principles and typically disagree with what the woke see as the need for advocacy or activism on behalf of so-called social justice. These people typically do not agree with the way concepts such as diversity and inclusion are framed and are also likely to disagree that the woke agenda really points to systemic injustices.

Average Critical Social Justice Attitudes: Individuals in this category demonstrate a moderate level of agreement and occasional engagement with social justice principles. They recognize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion to some extent and may support causes related to social justice when opportunities arise. Their perspectives on these matters may vary, however, and they are likely to also disagree with the social justice agenda in several respects.
