"Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American compared to African American."

Try for yourself: http://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/study.html

The whole time I was thinking "yeah I'll totally beat this," but then I finally realized how their scheme worked. Pretty funny, actually. Clever.

Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for European American compared to African American.

Slight, moderate, or strong preferences.

Nice.

"Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for African American compared to European American."

Wasn't expecting that. It could be because I had some black friends in elementary school, and I missed them after I moved upstate. Or maybe because I think black people are funnier than white people.

"Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for INTPs compared to INTJs."

Bizzare, but accurate.

You have completed the African American - European American IAT.

Your Result
Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between African American and European American. Thank you for your participation. Just below is a breakdown of the scores generated by others. Most respondents find it easier to associate African American with Bad and European American with Good compared to the reverse.

Can anyone else get the percentage chart to link or copy? It was interesting...

[... and I want to know who sits around late at night thinking up these studies... how do they come up with these tests? INTPc needs a "reefer madness" version of an Einstein emoticon... or would that be stereotyping?]

If it wasn't for the European/American, INTPc would never have existed. Is that racist?

Interesting enough, since I'm neither and have never associated IRL with either as well. O_o

I got this one:

Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Other People compared to Arab Muslims.

I had a combination of forgetting which group was on which side and the image of that guy from Short Circuit in my head.

I took this test a while ago and it said I had no preference.

You've obviously become a racist in the meantime.

I took this test some time ago and got "no automatic preference" for anything, except a slight preference for Arabs as opposed to Europeans. Since people from the Middle-East is the most common and exposed (in a negative way) minority here in Norway, I expected the opposite result. :mellow:

Apparently, I have a slight dislike of Muslims, love Jews, hate old people, and think GW and Thomas Jefferson are about even.

I thought the Muslim and GW thing were crap, but it doesn't surprise me at all to find out that I prefer Jews over other religions, and strongly prefer the young over the old.

Racist. Canada is basically just like Nazi Germany, isn't it?
