If you know what they’re testing for, it’s not a good test.

They don’t have to tell you the truth. It could have been to test whether being told that it’s “men vs women” affects the readings test subjects provide

Not could, will. These days it’s considered unethical not to debrief explaining any deceptive elements of the study. It can also be valuable because the people conducting the study can use it as a chance to find out if the participants knew about the deception, in case that knowledge might have affected the results.
