Implicit Association Test - Race

[ElectionsGuy]

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html

I got moderate preference for Africans, wasn't really expecting that.

Now, this test doesn't really measure racism in any way, more or less just psychological stereotypes that we default to unconsciously. Its much easier to link Europeans positively and Africans negatively when you consider the history, comparison of the two continents, etc. which is much of the reason behind 54% being moderately or strongly "preferring" Europeans. Apparently those things didn't get to me. Nonetheless, it is an interesting test not meant to be taken too seriously.

I don't need a test.

I like both white and black girls - if they are hot.

It doesn't work for me. It redirects me from a page to another and back to the first, in a permanent loop... Anyone else having this problem?

The website is NOT user friendly by any means....are you using one of my links or the OPs?

[dead0man]

I can't even get back into the test to get instructions for other people on how to get started...if I do what I think is right I just get the final "questionnaire" and not the actual "test" part.

Little to no preference.

That was the strangest test I've taken in my life.

[J-Mann]

I took one of these once, but it was light or dark skin, not Europeans or Africans. It told me that I was more comfortable around dark-skinned people, which wasn't surprising given my background and preferences. I still question the validity of the test, though. It seems as if these are created to make one who receives a preference for lighter skin feel ashamed, which is ridiculous.

Why weren't any Asian kids on the test?  This test is racist.

Both do the same to me.

Did you guys get your results immediately on the website or in your email?

The site, I don't think I had to provide an e-mail address.  I also took the sexuality test, and was about to take another and started to feel the pangs of yearning for a world beyond

No one should be ashamed of the outcome, as I've said in the OP, its really more of what we unconsciously link people to, and when considering it all, its much easier to link white/light - positive and black/dark - negative. The test isn't meant to be taken as racism, if so I would apparently be racist against white people, when really I just had a few more screw ups when it was white/positive and black/negative instead of vise versa.

I totally agree. I just think that's how these tests are normally viewed ... if a white person appears more comfortable with white people, it can be looked at as validation of subconscious racism. In other words, when these tests are administered, white preference was essentially considered the "wrong" answer.

"King of the Hill" featured it in an episode a few years ago, too
