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~)
ok took some of the weapons test thing and it seemed a little Recist, like realy racist. wow
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.

Ok the the Hole Weapons Black white harmless for the most part. that was most of it. try it and youll see.
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
