The IAT is a professionally used test to determine bias of one thing to another. For example, suppose you're taking the "Race IAT." After some warmup sessions (you'll see what I mean), you're asked to make associations of one set of objects (collection of photos of black and white people or a word describing something good or bad, i.e. rainbows, agony, etc.) to one category or another. These categories are paired - "Black and Good" or "White and Bad." Your response to each pick is timed, an evaluation of the strength of your unconscious associations between these two ideas. Your time is averaged and then weighted based on your experience so far with IATs and the order you've taken that part of the test. It's hard to explain, you'll have to see it for yourself.
i'm curious what sort of biases people in this forum have. Did they meet up with your expectations? For consistentency's sake, let's all focus on the Race Test (black vs white) first. if you want, you can share your results for other tests.
my results:
Moderate preference for Young people.
Slight association of science with male and liberal arts with female.
Strong preference for white people (imagine).
Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Judaism compared to Other Religions. (lol, surprised by that one. i expected a neutral response, but i had a bad reaction towards the cross imagery i think).
btw, i got this from the book "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. I've posted about it before in another thread, it's really a fascinating look at how the human unconscious helps us to make everyday decisions. it's well written and an easy and fun read, highly recommended.

I just did the gender/science vs liberal arts.
What I received was on the lines of "slight association of science and female and liberal arts and male".
I would've copied and pasted save I already closed the page.
edit: Fixed some spelling/grammar errors, it's getting late, and I'm becoming incoherent.

Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between White American and Black American.

I did race and got "inconclusive". My finger kept twitching to "e" before my brain caught up =/

Fair enough.
Second attempt = Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for African American compared to European American.
So from having strong against to slight for? Wha? :p

according to this book about 80% of americans showed a preference for white people. i guess it has to do with your culture and background. my dad was pretty racist about blacks, and i'd always get bullied by the local black kids when i was like 6 (true story).

What is your problem? Users like me, Stat.quo, etc. have done nothing to provoke the implicit (in this case overt) prejudice I read in this general forum on a regular basis.
Granted this is a private site, but the fact that you openly use offensive terms in a public atmosphere demonstrates your lack of character. I have seen your picture and am confident that you would not be so bold outside of the comfort of an internet forum. Quite pathetic really.

I guess it's because IRL their APM is higher than yours.

. The fuck? Silly test since it's much harder to do the second round (where the words are reversed) because you just got used to them being the other way.. Oddly enough I was, apparently, faster then and thus prefer african americans (was expecting it to be the other way around since the 'african american - good' was second and thus I was used to it being the other wa! Hm!
Didn't think I had any preference.. Still not sure what this test is supposed to prove either (because of what I said above) 
Oh yeah, it also said the data is inconclusive -,.-~

I'm sorry, I didn't think that if any black people would read it would get offended. Its a pretty mild term that black people use very often and I wish I could use it too in humor. I'll remove it np.
*edit*
But seriously, give me a break. If I was in RL company of black people I would not hesitate to use the word negro in a joking manner especially if I was not referring to any of them in particular. Like in my post. Easy going racist references are a great way to break free from the chains of real racism. Being politically correct all the time will only create more tension in the long run.

Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Abraham Lincoln compared to George W. Bush.

The whole point behind the switching is to compare your reaction times when different ideas are associated. i.e., if you're slower when black is associated with good, it means the connections you made unconsciously in that direction are less strong.

Suprising, I have nothing against any race though, all my friends are white and I base my opinions on people as individuals not as a race..
