I felt like the test wasn't accurate for me. I can't look at a bunch of strangers faces and tell if I would get along with them or not, because I have no idea who they are and what they have been through. So, I answered "most likable" and fucked up a lot with the speed letter thing.

I completed the Gender-Science IAT and the Weight IAT. I dont 100 percent see how pushing a button to catagorize persons completely shows our implicit associations. Sometimes I pushed the button because of repition not neccessarily because of underlying judgements (or was it because of implicit associations?...hmm...) It was interesting, but not sure how accurate.

I thought that the instructions were unclear so it took me a couple times to understand what I was supposed to do. I think that my results are not accurate because of the mess up, but they were generally what I thought they would be.
I completed the Gender Career test and I found it very interesting. I am not sure how accurate the results are because I was not really clear on the instructions.

I completed the Gender-Career IAT and my data suggested that I had a strong association of male with career and female with family. I agree that the portion of the test that matched male with career and female with family was more quickly completed, but I do not believe that this test accurately measured my associations about gender and career.

I just finished the Sexuality IAT and I feel like my results couldn't be any more wrong. I don't highly recommend this test because it doesn't accurately measure your real views on sexuality. There's definitely better tests to choose from.

I just finished the Fat-Tin IAT. My data suggested that I have a moderate automaic preference for thin people compared to fat people. I couldn't disagree more; I felt like the test purposefully makes it uncomfortable for you to sort the categories it wants.

I decided to take the disability IAT and my data suggest that I have a slight preference for abled body people in comparason to disabled people. I have a best friend that is handicapped and we spend a lot of time together. My results couldn't be any more wrong.
No preference here.

I just completed the weapons IAT and my data suggest that I have a moderate association of white people having weapons compared to black people having weaopons. I don't understand how sorting out pictures of white and black faces has any thing to do with weapon association. In America, whites and blacks have the same opportunities to own a gun so both races are have the same capacity of being associated with weapons. Tha's my story and i'm sticking to it.

I just finished the RACE IAT test and It stated that I have a preference towards european (WHITE) people over African American (BLACK) people. I honestly dont look at color when I befriend others. I guess I do hang out with more "White" people though.
I did the weight (Fat/Thin) one. I found it to be pretty accurate. I get the whole bias thing that we have little control over. I have a moderate favor towards what is most like me... As I imagine most people would.
