For those who were saying it was getting confusing and they thought it was flawed, no it's really not flawed, it's supposed to work that way.
I had no gender association, but a strong preference for European Americans.
Which seems wrong to me, because I've been raised in a very liberal area and I'm friends with several black people.
I don't know. I NEVER thought of myself as prejudiced. And some test won't change that for me.
just because it is working the way that it was programed to doesn't mean that it isn't a flawed program/hypothesis.
i don't see how this test could be at all accurate at measuring predjudices for several reasons.
a) yes, it measures reaction time, but reaction time isn't a good measure of anything if the subject is too flooded with information to still make a conscious decision. if you confuse a subject, your results will automatically become flawed.
b)with six different variables, the test becomes incredibly difficult to measure, specifically when you cannot SEE the subject to fully gage their reaction.
c)sorting a picture of an african american with the word "bad" doesn't necessarily mean you're predjudice, specifically if the things to sort them from "bad" to "good" are switched back and forth, causing muscle memory to take over and accidentally missort.
d)muscle memory and pattern anticipation skew the results of this, because the subject get lulled into typing "e, i, e, i, e, i" correctly, and then the pattern will be switched from "e, i, e, i" to "e, i, i, e" and the subject will not respond correctly, because they have already anticipated the before pattern that htye had learned.
those are just four reasons that i don't trust this test, but i could go on and on forever. its a nice idea, but not througly executed correctly.
