Are you a racist? The test that claims to know

“But a five-minute online test (see Internet links, right), devised by American academics and newly launched in Britain, promises to strip away the veneer of respectability many people hold on to, and plunder the prejudices we harbour in the unconscious. The result - a truer picture of one’s attitudes.”

Re: Are you a racist? The test that claims to know

The test itself is quiet deceptive. It plays a trick with your mind. It first lets you relate all the good things with White than Black. Your mind quickly picks up the fact that good is related to white. Afterwards, they change the order and it’s suddenly hard to relate good things to Black. :rolleyes: .. It the order was reversed, you wouldn’t be racist against blacks but whites.

The website talks about the effect of IAT order. :hehe: .. missed the link!

Re: Are you a racist? The test that claims to know

"Your data suggest little or no automatic preference for White American relative to Black American"

Yeah I hate em all equally :D

Re: Are you a racist? The test that claims to know

<~~~Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for White relative to Black

I think test rather leading in its make-up.

First I was to pick black faces or white faces.

Then I was to to equate black+bad and white+good.

Then asked to do the opposite.

I am thinking that if I was to equate black+good and white+bad initially...result would have been different.
