Wouldn't the fact that you switch them around mean that you'll most likely be slower on the second go because you just got used to it being the other way around ;;;;; Surprisingly I was faster the second round but that doesn't make sense so I guess it was purely speed/me being cautious the first round ;D | ||

It is essentially like a game and some people will only get better at later rounds. even if you get better, there is a difference in response times between the two categories. it also adjusts for order. these folks are from harvard and have been doing this for a while, give them some credit. sounds like most of you just don't want to accept your results. | ||

your score is (for the fiftieth time this thread) weighted depending on the order you took each part of the test. i think there is more information on how this is done after you have taken it, on your score page. ink: not everybody has those same associations, and they may not be as strong. there are plenty of people who have neutral associations as far as gender, science and liberal arts go or they may be exactly opposite. still, i'm not sure i understand what you're saying. clarify please :\. maleorder: do elaborate. | ||

As in really fucking stupid and inconclusive. Whoever was the moron that designed it really needs to rethink their career. | ||

I guess it's more that I have a problem to focus, it could have slipped the other way too. EIDIT:Made the religon test too and: "Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Judaism compared to Other Religions." I stongly call bs. I hate all religions equally. Oh well I hate the christians a thad more but not much. Oh well the I cant call bull.. well I still think that it could slip both ways. I find it hard to belive these tests have any real use and correct results. | ||

What I meant is that first you are trained to associate one thing with other, and then you are said to do something like opposite of this. It is easier to learn to do something you have never done before, than to learn to do the same thing in a different way. And this makes the test biased in my opinion. I can give you a starcraft related example: You got used to using some hotkeys to produce units, and I guess it wasn't very hard to do. But when you already know which keys to press and then someone changes the settings of the game, and now "o" makes tanks and "p" makes vultures you will screw constantly because you are used to different setting. And if you were to learn the hotkeys without knowing any beforehand, the keys wouldn't matter and again, you would have no problems. | ||

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. are you for real? rofl | ||

Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for George W. Bush compared to John F. Kennedy. I know that isn't true. Bush's face is stupid and it pisses me off, and I dislike him through and through. There is no implicit association here, it's just that the categories were switched around and that fucked up my sorting because I was used to them being the other way around. | ||
