Found this to be cool tests on preferences we don't even know we have, age young or old, race and religion and even George Bush

OK, I took it - It says I have no preference one way or the other

What is this thing supposed to be telling me?

from the site:
"It is well known that people don't always 'speak their minds', and it is suspected that people don't always 'know their minds'. Understanding such divergences is important to scientific psychology.

This web site presents a method that demonstrates the conscious-unconscious divergences much more convincingly than has been possible with previous methods. This new method is called the Implicit Association Test, or IAT for short.

In addition, this site contains various related information. The value of this information may be greatest if you try at least one test first..."

I tried a few... they didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. Like I took the Old vs. Young and it said I moderately prefer young people. I knew that! I also knew my results from the Other Religions vs. Judaism and Abled vs. Disabled tests. I haven't taken any others, but I suspect I'll have already known them, too.

I took the Brittney Spears V/S 50 cent one and it said I strongly prefered Brittney to 50 cent. I knew that too, I can't STAND 50 CENT!

I get the little or no difference answer on everything I try, I think that is because I am just really good at test stuff...I did little tricks in my head to remember what went to left and to right...

However, on a lot of that stuff I am probably right in the middle anyways. What was weird to me was the religion one, where you had to equate bad to a particular religion. That was totally the tricks in my head to answer that one, I had to answer at one point that my own faith was "bad" and at another point that the studied faith was "bad", and I don't believe either of those.

I took three, the first one surprised me a bit, but the second and third didn't.

Second was GWB vs. Thomas Jefferson and I came up preferring neither.

Third was able bodied vs. Disabled and I came up as moderately preferring disabled. I think that's because I am facing a health issue that can be disabling and has affected my mobility. My issue is temporary (I hope), but I definitely have empathy for those who have permanent disabilities.

OK, I got it to work and I strongly prefer people who are fat as opposed to people who are thin. What does that mean? I also strongly prefer Jefferson to Bush. No suprise there,eh?

I took these tests a few weeks ago. I slightly preferred straight people to gay people--and I'm gay!

Yeah, I took the religion one - I guess it means I do know my mind.

You self loather you!!!

Honestly, I don't think it told me much more than that I'm just really uncoordinated.

The one for me said something like, "you have not preference, but you made so many mistakes it was hard to tell" !!!
