interesting. It said I had a moderate preference for white people. But I could've told them that. I believe in non-racist ideals and I try to be non-racist, but humans are humans and I know I have a lot of prejudices.
But the test has a big problem. First it trains you to associate the good words with white people, and then it switches it on you so you make more mistakes when the good words are connected to black people. What kind of results would it get if the good words were associated with black people first?
I don't think they need this test to tell us that most people are racist as all get out. |

I thought the test was a joke test at first, but when it changed up, I actually had to start paying attention a bit. I could only guess that it's supposed to really be testing your adaptability to change (i.e. dealing with other races)? |

"Your data suggest little or no automatic preference for White People relative to Black People"
Of course.
Would've been interesting to do one with Asian people.
But it was an American test. |

| The test is racist because there are no Asians. |

The test says I have a strong automatic preference for white people.
Well, that's it. I don't know what I'm doing here. I got to go back home and join the KKK. |
