I think most of the images in the test for black-white preference were
women, at least on the black-people side of things. I remember a few
white males, but no black ones. That might explain a little bit...

I think my strong association with women and science is independent. My
mother had a fairly traditional role (did work with computers a bit) and
my dad sides houses in a fairly traditional hard-labor male type role. I
didn't have many female role models outside my home that I remember,
either. I'm assuming it is personally instilled though highly due to my
parents' belief that you can do whatever you want to regardless of sex.
