Having to see my own biases laid out in front of me with the result of the quiz was unnerving, but it made me want to take more tests to see what other implicit biases I had that I either didn't think I had, or didn't want to think that I had

The second was a little more eye opening for me. I was nervous to take any of the tests because like the article says "it isn’t nice to think we aren’t very nice. It would be comforting to conclude, when we don’t consciously entertain impure intentions, that all of our intentions are pure. Unfortunately, we can’t conclude that: many of us are more biased than we realize. And that is an important cause of injustice—whether you know it or not." (How to Think About Implicit Bias)

The first compared President Biden with Former President Reagan. My results showed a slight bias towards Pres. Biden. I wasn't particularly surprised since I don't have any experience with Pres. Reagan

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.

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.
