Note: For each stereotype, we construct the distribution of trigrams at the 95th percentile of all trigrams in a job ad. We identify the trigram that is closest to the mean 95th percentile trigram and the trigram that is closest to one standard deviation above the median. We also show the two trigrams immediately below 1 standard deviation above the mean 95th percentile (columns 2 and 3) and the two trigrams immediately above 1 standard deviation above the mean 95th percentile (columns 5 and 6). The CS scores in columns (2), (3), (5), and (6) were very close to those in column (4), for each row. For example, in the first row (Attractive), the CS scores in columns (2)–(6) ranged from 0.3772 to 0.3776. The CS score in column (1) was 0.3082.
