Here are some sites which may give you some ideas.

Here is my response to a similar previous post:
There used to be a "Nonesuch" test, which asked something like, "Out of 100 people in each category, how many would have to be present before you would feel uncomfortable?"
The categories included all sorts of races, nationalities, religions and ethnic groups. However, within these categories were three "Nonesuch" groups — Danerian, Wallerian and another that I cannot remember.
They found that the level of acceptance of the Nonesuch groups corresponded closely to the level of low acceptance of various outgroups for that person. This is just one attempt to measure prejudice. This led the researchers to conclude that the prejudices were — to a great extent — a function of the perceiver's suspicions of unknown groups in contrast to actual characteristics of the outgroups.
Other studies have shown that, as one gets to know outgroup members on an individual basis, usually prejudiced attitudes against that group tend to be reduced.
This is just one attempt to measure prejudice. I searched Google under the key words "prejudice measure" to get these possible sources:

There are many more sources, if you want to continue the search.
Since prejudice is influenced by so many factors, it is very difficult to measure on a reliable basis. Even so, some basic trends can be indicated.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

Sociologists use a variety of measurements to calculate prejudice. One example is the "Nonesuch" test, which asks individuals how many people from different categories (races, nationalities, religions, ethnic groups) would need to be present before they would feel uncomfortable. This test includes three "Nonesuch" groups, which are not associated with any specific category. The acceptance level of these Nonesuch groups is then compared to the acceptance level of other outgroups, revealing the extent of prejudice.
Other studies have shown that getting to know members of outgroups on an individual basis often reduces prejudiced attitudes towards that group. These studies suggest that prejudice is influenced by the perceiver's suspicions of unknown groups rather than actual characteristics of the outgroups.
However, measuring prejudice is challenging due to its complex nature and the many factors influencing it. Sociologists continue to explore different approaches to understand and measure prejudice. Various studies and articles, such as those mentioned in the previous response, provide further insights and research on measuring prejudice.
To learn more about the different measurements sociologists use to calculate prejudice, you can refer to the sources provided in the previous response or conduct a search using keywords like "prejudice measurement" or "prejudice scale." This will lead you to a variety of sources that delve deeper into the topic and provide further information and methodologies used in measuring prejudice.
