Insurance companies use predictive analytics in order to accurately price risk. This allows for us to live in a world where individuals can make small contributions to a plan and have enormous sums of money available if needed.

1) My key takeaway is that the test showed that I have an automatic moderate preference for abled people compared to disabled people, which is true of 27% of people who take the test.  I need to learn more about disability justice.
2) This relates to my life in so many ways.  I have many people in my life (including myself) with disabilities yet the test is still showing an implicit bias.
3) It relates to my teaching because I am responsible for creating an inclusive, supportive, and productive classroom environment for all of my students. I need to be actively working to address my implicit biases.

It reinforces the school to prison pipeline, assuming that failure by THIRD GRADE means you are destined for prison.

The statement is problematic because standard tests are not even necessarily valid measures of student learning, so how could they be considered valid for making decisions like number of prisons?

Typically, "reading scores" are determined through biased text and text that does not relate/appeal to people of color. In the same sense, majority people of color are experiencing incarceration. #abolishprisons

Seeing as many prisons are operated at "for profit" it would be extremely problematic to use reading scores of third graders as an indicator of future incarceration rates. For one its just wrong as they are just kids. Two, it implies an incentive for those who have a financial stake in the prison industry to root for our education system to fail our students.

If prison planners are using 3rd grade reading scores (I don't know where the data is coming from for the politicians and journalists) then they are predicting children's future which seems a lot more unpredictable than something like flight tickets. They are also reinforcing the school to prison pipeline by planning when students are only 8 years old.

# data[].attributes.body
they're labeling and tainting the lens through which children are seen.  also reading scores from what test? a bias one?

# data[].attributes.body
There are so many reasons why this is problematic for one these are babies that they are already predicting their future and counting them out. Also standardized test are not made for people of color to do well.

# data[].attributes.body
This statement assumes that 3rd grade reading scores correlate/lead to prison and ignore all other factors (race, neighborhood, socioeconomics, etc) and uses a deficit mindset rather than growth. Not only this, but then this can lead to over policing as certain areas might then expect crime rather than the more likely of community without it.

# data[].attributes.body
It's very fatalistic rather than trying to work to reform and fix the system. It assumes that children are destined to go a certain path. We should instead use resources to help children in school and in their communities.

# data[].attributes.body
The prison planners are using a deficit mindset on kids that have not even been alive for a decade
it doesn't account for the massive amounts of potential for the kids, since they are 8 years old

Preliminary Information

On the next page you'll be asked to select an Implicit Association Test (IAT) from a list of possible topics . We will also ask you (optionally) to report your attitudes or beliefs about these topics and provide some information about yourself.

We ask these questions because the IAT can be more valuable if you also describe your own self-understanding of the attitude or stereotype that the IAT measures. We would also like to compare differences between people and groups.

On the IAT, you may find it easier to pair certain attributes with one group of people compared to another. Your IAT results may depart from your personal beliefs.

Note: This site is designed for adults, aged 18 or older.

Data Privacy: Data exchanged with this site are protected by SSL encryption. Project Implicit uses the same secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS) that banks use to securely transfer credit card information. This provides strong security for data transfer to and from our website. IP addresses are routinely recorded, but are completely confidential. For research purposes, data without directly identifying information is made publicly available. You can find more information on our Data Privacy page.

Important disclaimer: In reporting to you results of any IAT test that you take, we will mention possible interpretations that have a basis in research done (at the University of Washington, University of Virginia, Harvard University, and Yale University) with these tests. However, these Universities, as well as the individual researchers who have contributed to this site, make no claim for the validity of these suggested interpretations. If you are unprepared to encounter interpretations that you might find objectionable, please do not proceed further. You may prefer to examine general information about the IAT before deciding whether or not to proceed.

If you have questions about the study, please contact Project Implicit at questions@projectimplicit.net. To obtain more information about the study, ask questions about the research procedures, express concerns about your participation, or report illness, injury or other problems, please contact:
