DonkeyKongerko Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Click on "Demonstration" for some simple word/picture association tests in Flash. I took the race one and it told me I have a strong automatic preference for whites over blacks. I think the order of the categories had something to do with it but give it a try. https://implicit.harvard.edu/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonWeltall Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 slight preference for whites SO RACIST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 That test sucks. You get used to going one way and then they switch them around. It'd be like switching the keys on a keyboard. Who's not going to go slower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 My results were same as DK's. How many times will our liberal posters have to repeat this test so it doesn't indicate any preference for one race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yeah the order is randomized for different people to get accurate data on the aggregate. Still, I don't totally blame the order for my speed difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I don't know. For me I noticed it was easier when white and good were together. I think thats the whole point of the thing. Your able to score faster depending on what you associate things as. Thats my guess though and don't ask me why I got the results cause I am definately not a racist, but my guess is this is the typical association most white people make. But my results showed: Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for White compared to Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 "Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between African American and White American." You people need tolerance lessons from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for White compared to Black. A course im not white or black so I call this test biased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 In all honesty I believe that every single human is subject to some prejudice. What seperates us is how we confront it and how we use it. I know I have some prejudism towards certain races and groups, but I will never let it get in my way towards an individual. I'm not a "bigot", but I do feel better around certain races than I do around others, and I believe every single person is the same way.

sox4lifeinPA Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 It's no big shock that a white person that spends 99% of his week with only white people will some how prefer white people over black.

G&T Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 If you'll notice, they also give you the general results of the test you are about to take. If they know that already, why bother doing the test. It also biases the test taker. I took the test between FDR and Bush, my results were inconclusive. I guess that could be accurate, I'm a conservative, but who really doesn't like FDR these days besides Ann Coulter? I think they could've come up with a better test.

DonkeyKongerko Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 I still think it's interesting for the fact that most of us like to think we aren't racist or bigoted and probably are not. Yet when performing this test, there is something that slows down our minds perhaps subconsciously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
