It's a series of quizzes in Flash format which supposedly determine whether you have subconscious prejudices.  It reminds me of the quiz which has color names in different colors... hard to describe, but if you've seen it, you probably know what I mean.
Age IAT
Age ('Young - Old' IAT). This IAT requires the ability to distinguish old from young faces. This test often indicates that Americans have automatic preference for young over old.

Gender-Science IAT
Gender - Science. This IAT often reveals a relative link between liberal arts and females and between science and males.

Race IAT
Race ('Black - White' IAT). This IAT requires the ability to distinguish faces of European and African origin. It indicates that most Americans have an automatic preference for white over black.

Election IAT
Election ('2004 Presidential Candidates' IAT). This IAT requires the ability to recognize photos of presidential candidates that ran in the 2004 U.S. presidential election.

Presidents IAT
Presidents ('Presidential Popularity' IAT).  This IAT requires the ability to recognize photos of George W. Bush and one or more previous presidents.  The results revealed by this test provide a new method of appraising public  support for the President of the United States.

Sexuality IAT
Sexuality ('Gay - Straight' IAT).  This IAT requires the ability to distinguish words and symbols representing gay and straight people. It often reveals an automatic preference for straight relative to gay people.

Gender-Career IAT
Gender - Career. This IAT often reveals a relative link between family and females and between career and males.

Arab-Muslim IAT
Arab-Muslim ('Arab Muslim - Other People' IAT). This IAT requires the ability to distinguish names that are likely to belong to Arab-Muslims versus people of other nationalities or religions. It frequently reveals an automatic preference for other people compared to Arab-Muslims.

Weight IAT
Weight ('Fat - Thin' IAT).  This IAT requires the ability to distinguish faces of people who are obese and people who are thin. It often reveals an automatic preference for thin people relative to fat people.

Religion IAT
Religion ('Judaism - Other Religions' IAT).  This IAT requires the ability to recognize religious symbols from various world religions, especially Judaism.

Disability IAT
Disablity ('Disabled - Abled' IAT).  This IAT requires the ability to recognize symbols representing abled and disabled individuals.

It takes a little while but the two tests I took showed a moderate preference.

How do I know I am an arfcommer?

Your data suggest a slight automatic association between European American and Weapons. * * * Our position, perhaps an unpopular one, is that the unconscious roots of profiling lie in every mind. In the Race-Weapons test you completed, we provide the occasion for recognizing the automatic association between racial groups and weapons relative to harmless objects. The result of this test probably underestimates the true extent of this association. In order to give every benefit to obtaining the alternative association (African American and harmless objects), we explicitly included examples of weapons that are not associated with that group (e.g., bayonets, swords, bombs, axes). When we demonstrate the bias nevertheless, we are revealing the strong association between African Americans and harmful weapons.


 I'm guessing I have "a slight automatic association between European American and Weapons" because most of the people I see with weapons are white.  

ETA: The only X I got was when I indicated that the maglite was a weapon.

I took the weapons test.

It says that I show a strong association between African Americans and weapons.

I really don't know how they got thta result from my actual test results.

Maybe from the questions answered after the test.

Ya' know, where they ask if you are a white conservative, etc.

But not the picture test. No way.

hmmm probably because most the guys I see at the range, shoots, gunshows are white.....
and I dont know any black people in real life so....

Your data suggest little or no automatic racial association with Weapons or Harmless Objects.

Did anybody elese get the Maglite wrong? And did we all go straight for the one that said "weapons?"
4/4/2005 8:30:08 PM EDT

I have a moderate preference towards GWB over Reagan

I'll take another.....

I got the mag lite wrong...the first one I took was the weapons one
4/4/2005 8:41:00 PM EDT
[#9]
Yeah.  I got the Maglite wrong, too.  

My results on the tests I took:

- Your data suggest little or no automatic preference for White relative to Black
- Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Bush relative to Kerry
- Your data suggest a moderate automatic association between African American and Weapons
- Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for GAY PEOPLE relative to STRAIGHT PEOPLE

I blame my association with TRG for the last one.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the speed that you press the keys.  If you are quicker pressing the keys when black/weapon, white/harmless are the choices, as opposed to when white/weapon, black/harmless are the choices, that indicates that you more readily associate blacks with weapons.

There's a psychology test I referenced in my first post about this:

www-atdp.berkeley.edu/1997/courses/1655/psychproj.html

I'm pretty sure the Association Tests are the same principle.  What is more congruous to the mind allows you to make your selections quicker.

Apparently I associate with young people, I prefer GWB over JFK, and my mind combines european looking people with weapons.


Did anyone else hit weapon when they saw the maglite? ETA: On review of the thread, apparantly I wasn't the only one, haha.

Well it could have something to do with me being a bit addled.

Or living so close to Oakland.

Oh, and Gloftoe, someone had to do it!

Yeah, Harvard did!!!

A big red X is not the usual sound you get when selecting the MagLite

This test is horse hockey...

My results:

"Your data suggest a slight automatic association between European American and Weapons"

Ok, I accept that on blind faith since they are Harvard and all...

Until I get to this bullshit...


Police officers in New York, shot and killed a citizen, Amadou Diallo, who they believed was reaching for a weapon. In fact, Amadou Diallo, was reaching for his wallet to provide identification to the police officers.


Now, that may be a legitimate statement, but it's use in this particular forum by this particular group shows a severe bias, in my estimation.

I think there might be something wrong with you if you DON'T see the maglite as a weapon.

It says I'm a replicant, is that bad ?

Thanks!   Every test I take is inconclusive.

Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for STRAIGHT PEOPLE relative to GAY PEOPLE  

Also think African origin people are weapons.

People who don't recognize the Maglite as a weapon have a 53% higher chance of receiving cranial contusions in an encounter with short-tempered policemen than people who do recognize the Maglite as a weapon. They don't know enough to shut up or duck.

It's inconclusive because it's meaningless psychobabble crap.
