I am trying to find a serious "are you a racist" quiz to post on the politics board.
While both of the following quizzes made me LOL, I don't think they would be very useful, and seem easy enough to cheat on.

Does anyone know of a better one?

According to the dictionary, racism =
A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
Hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
***
So a quiz could simply be:
1. Do you believe that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement?
2. Do you believe that your own race is superior and has the right to rule others?
3. Do you hate another race or other races? -
From my daughters church school program

Tennagers are less racist than aduls

Minorities should quit blaming their problems on others
White people owe other minorites because of past discrimination and injustice

After you all finish these quizes on racism you can get the 'Big Book of Racism'.

I guess it depends on if you are talking about institutionalized racism or just the average racist, or if you are merely speaking of prejudice. There are a lot of academic sites where you might be able to find something like that.
I recommend reading Tim Wise at the Red Room, Raciouslicious, and things
Things White People Do.
Interesting old post

There's a research project/racism quiz through Harvard U. online here; implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/
Whether or not it supplies any results at this time I can't say... -
On the IAT test it showed I MIGHT have a SLIGHT preference for European over African Americans.
I just couldn't figure out which button was which. And I kept messing up and getting red x's....
Wonder if I took it again and again if it would always remain that way.
(My score was really close to not having ANY preference - which I found interesting also... Since it is believed that I have Creole background in me somewhere... LOL!) -
The real test is one of institutional racism, most people do not have enough power to be racist. Sure they can hate, but this is at all levels for all reasons. We need to move past all the isms and develop people that can help all people.
