Generally speaking people ALWAYS think people who are different from themselves are 'bad' .... this can be color, race, sexual preference etc. - unfortunately its somewhat natural and especially prevalent in people with limited education and life experience.
Simply put we find it easier to relate to people similar to ourselves - people we aren't similar to appear less predictable and thus 'scary' ...
One thing which is interesting though if that the answers show the child has a positive self-image, if they had felt they were stupid for instance then it'd be far less likely they'd pick the image they associate with themselves as being 'bright' for instance .... yet strangely if they had done so I'm sure the mother would have been happier ...
