ITT Harvard uncovers your true predispositions and prejudices

Take one of these tests and post your results. Pretty much if your finger slips there's a good chance the leading university in the world is going to tell you you hate black people, and who are you to say no to them? Also: if anyone has a deeper understanding of what goes on behind these tests beside the obvious, feel free to post (I'm too lazy to research the process behind it.) Double also: this is definitely really old and I'm sure most of you have taken one. But, you know. Or maybe not.

Arab-Muslim IAT - Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Other People compared to Arab Muslims.


This was an interesting test, actually. It was laid out different than any other evaluation that I have encountered, and was interesting in how it was carried out. I found it odd how you had to sort the names and feelings into categories, and when they grouped names and feelings together, I didn't really understand what it meant until I read my final evaluation.


Good find.

My results for one of them: "Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Light Skin compared to Dark Skin."

nice subjectivity. How about you look at the actual test before you come up with opinionated reasons as to why the tests suck.

Andrew Mitchell was joking, in his Andrew Mitchell-y way.

Apparently, I have a strong automatic preference to thin people as opposed to fat people.
Well, that means I don't like 95% of Internet users. :/

Implicit processes are typically happening below the level of consciousness and represent bias you have towards something that you don't necessarily think about. Think of it as a snap judgment, which can be influenced by many learned factors.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you hate black people or are islamophobic, for example.


Anyway, I've taken most of these before. I'm biased against black people, gays, fatties, muslims and associate black people with dangerous weapons ftw.

(actually, I think I posted this a couple of years ago here XD )

Haha, well of course my implication that "if your finger slips [...] you hate black people" was in jest, but I now understand a little better. Thanks!
