Scary stuff. Are you biased? Really?

Racial Bias Skin-Tone:

Your data suggest little or no automatic preference

How other test subjects scored:

Interpretation / Percent of Total Respondents

Strong automatic preference for light-skin 22%
Moderate automatic preference for light-skin 27%
Slight automatic preference for light-skin 18%
Little to no automatic preference 19%
Slight automatic preference for dark-skin 8%
Moderate automatic preference for dark-skin 5%
Strong automatic preference for dark-skin 1%

I was surprised by my results. also, even though they have a time penalty for thinking too much as opposed to reactionary results, it isn't fast enough. if you are a quick thinker and are paying attention, it is easy to show no bias (even though I truly think I have no or very little bias)

Interesting. Apparantly I have a strong automatic preference for not taking tests.

Funny stuff.:D

I get the same results with gender association with liberal arts and science. From taking 2 tests (the latter which I would say I am even less biases) since the tests are formatted the same way, I dare say they could put something up there I was extremely biased about ie duke/unc basketball and rx-8/350z and I'd dare say I would be unbiased about both of those as well (which I'm not unbiased about. go duke! go 8!)

Strong automatic preference for Judaism.
Strong automatic preference for Abled Persons.
Strong automatic preference for Straight People.
Slight automatic preference for Thin People.

More to come...

my gender bias test was "inconclusive"... :confused: that SOB was confusing as heck.

strong automatic preference for straight people...
Strong automatic association between European faces and American...

yah i quit half way to get a beer!

Im about to take the test, but I was born biased

Too many tests, and too many questions. I'm biased alright.. biased against the tests!

The tests only take about a minute, two at the most. They SEEM long because as you take the test, you can see your hidden biases being exposed, and it is frustrating. Just answer with the first answer that comes to your mind, if the picture doesn't change, push the other button - your bias has been exposed!

It is uncomfortable to take these tests, because we don't want to admit we ARE biased. I am ashamed, and will double my CONSCIOUS efforts to change my unconscious attitude (if I can).

I just started guessing and clicking the keys like mad, and I got HAPPY. Does that mean I am not bias. I THINK NOT. Bogusa test, but nonetheless interesting.
