Please follow this link and enter the "Project Implicit" research website--enter by clicking on the American flag and take one of the survey tests that assesses possible hidden bias towards particular peoples and/or ideologies.





Take the survey (takes about 10 minutes) and then blog your response below.  You will click on the American flag in the lower right hand corner.


Don't try to 'outsmart' the test.

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.
