Another interesting quiz for you guys!

Take test here! (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/canada/selectatest.jsp)


My Results:

Race: Slight automatic preference for White people compared to Black people.
(this makes sense to me because I don't have any black friends, not to mention that where I live it's rarer to see black people)

Age: Slight automatic preference for Young compared to Old.
(I'm young, so my preference for people my age makes sense. Never really been close to my grandparents either)

Countries: Strong automatic preference for Canada compared to the United States.
(knew I was going to get this before I even started the quiz. XD)

Sexuality: Moderate automatic preference for Straight People compared to Gay People.
(This completely surprised me. I honestly have always felt just as comfortable around gay and straights, I honestly don't care. My closest friend isn't straight. So I was expecting to get neutral and I got this, so that's interesting, maybe the media is affecting me and I don't even know it. D:)

Weight: Automatic preference for Fat People compared to Thin People.
(did not surprise me XD)

Gender: Slight association of Male with Science and Female with Humanities compared to Female with Science and Male with Humanities.
(Interesting because I personally love science and never liked the arts _as_ much >.>; )

Skin-tone: Little to no automatic preference between Light Skinned People and Dark Skinned People.
(Awesoooome~)

bleh, tried the race one, the result was "too many errors to determine a result" lame, don't really wanna try again, for some reason I find these tests stressful, and I feel compelled to go faster than I probably should.

I saw this one from Hank Green. I only did the gender and weight ones. For gender, I got "Slight association of Male with Science and Female with Humanities compared to Female with Science and Male with Humanities." I think it was just because I confused myself over which buttons I had to press. XD For Weight, I got that I didn't prefer one over the other. This one is accurate.

These tests unfortunately suffer from a healthy dose of confirmation bias. If you know what the test is seeking, you can easily cater your responses to the desire result.

Actually it's not that easy. .____. I tried re-doing sexuality multiple times to get a different result and I kept getting the same one. Maybe it's just me, who knows. XD
