Placing demographic questions at the end of a test rather than the beginning has been shown to reduce the risk of stereotype threat. This is because asking about demographics (such as race, gender, etc.) at the start can prime individuals to think about stereotypes associated with their group, potentially impacting their performance negatively. Moving these questions to the end helps to mitigate this effect.
