I took the weight test, I got that I have a very very strong preference with thin people. I do not disagree with this statement I have had an Eating disorder in the past and still struggle being around "fat" people. I have a pretty negative bias so I would say this test did well. I do not have any fat friends and I am very much in the fitness world so I believe the people I hang out with contributes to this as well. I feel as if I do need to get over this as clearly not everyone will be thin in highschools that I teach in and I really need to get over the stigma that I have in my brain that fat = bad. I do this actively when I serve but often I feel myself getting anxiety around them but I am hoping this does better itself in the future.

I took the weight test and was told that I have a strong preference towards skinny over fat people. I ultimately was not surprised by this. I do have friends of all sizes, and if anything I am typically one of the smallest throughout each of my friend groups. However, I do recognize that having worked in unhealthy restaurants, I have seen many rough conditions of overweight people. I have heard that it is not true, but it has always been a stigma in my mind that people can control their weight through their habits and have often felt that overweight translates to lazy.

This has never bothered me. In fact I have darker skin tone than my cousin who is 1/2 African American. We always joke about me being darker. I only made two errors in the whole test and that was during the time when I had to remember that it was opposites from the time before. If this was true then I would need to be conscious of this bias to avoid it.

I took the Transgender test and got "Your data suggest weak automatic preference for Transgender People over Cisgender People.". Which to be honest is not too surprising in my opinion. I do think I have a slight preference for trans people because I am queer myself. After having not seen or interacted with queer people for much of my life it is an automatic "Oh I know this person is safe in that regard" when I see a trans person or interact with one. It is seeing another person from the same minority as me who I can be more honest and open with as compared to cisgendered people. Ultimately I thought this would be the outcome and am not too shocked or surprised. I do think that the way it is worded makes me seem like I have a slight dislike of cigendered people but that is not the case and I think I have a good understanding of my slight bias towards trans folk.

I took the Sexuality Bias Test and I got "strong automatic preference for straight people compared to gay people." I am kinda surprised by this... I am literally bisexual so I have no preference for either or. I am happy who I am happy around and not who I am not. I have no religious background to say that. I have no preference. Either way, in my classroom everyone is welcome however they identify and I will take that everywhere I go- inside the classroom or not.

I got results saying that I believed men were mostly associated with science while women were mostly associated with liberal arts, however, I disagree with these statements. I believe that I may have gotten these results based on the fact that the way the questions were presented was quite confusing and I believe that the gender associated with science and liberal arts is fairly even, in my opinion. I feel that I have witnessed split results quite frequently and do not agree with the test results given to me. I also got results saying that I associated males with careers and females with family, I can see where this result may come from as it is a stereotype for men to be out working while women stay home and care for the family, however, I do believe that men and women have the same capabilities to do both equally as well. I believe that implicating in my classroom that both men and women (or boys and girls) are very capable of doing the same things just as well is super important as well as establishing gender equality.

I took the Race IAT and it found that I was slightly faster at sorting white with good and black with bad compared to sorting white with bad and black with good. I think that this is in part due to subconscious biases, but I also have some thoughts on whether the results would be different if the test was run differently. I think that all people have their own subconscious biases, I don't think people should feel bad for these biases, their existence is nobodies fault in my opinion. However, I do think it should be in everyone's interest to make as much effort as possible into reducing them as much as possible. The main thing I wonder about with the test is whether the results would be different if I did the test in a different order. How the tests worked is I was given words with good connotations that I had to label good with one key, and words with bad connotations with another key, and then had black and white images of black and white people that I also had to sort through. The test then gave me both of these at the same time, having me sort white and good with the same key, and black and bad with the other key, it then swapped white and black and did it again. The main thing I am wondering is would this test have gone differently if black and good were grouped together first, since I feel most people get a feel for the test on the first round then it takes them longer to relearn the order than to learn it the first time. Again I think my own subconscious biases likely played a role in the results, but I still am curious whether the results would be different, purely with how people learn things.

I took the Native IAT test. While taking the test I felt uncomfortable. My results stated "Your responses suggested little or no automatic association between Present and Past with White Americans and Native Americans." I think this means close to what I feel when thinking about it. I treat everyone the same. To me it doesn't matter your background in order for me to treat you with respect. Children especially because they don't know any better so they deserve a teacher who does not have bias against them. I want my classroom to be all inclusive. Each child is represented and understood and if I don't understand them on any level then I will learn whatever I have to in order for them to be heard.

I took the race test and got no bias whatsoever which I guess is nice, considering how biased some people in my life are. I don't know where bias comes from at this point.

I took the gay test and got moderately automatically prefer gay people which also makes sense since a lot of people I know are gay, and I just watched Rocky Horror Show and that film is wildin. Not shocked. Good for her.

I have some notes about the test as well. Firstly, my fingers hurt now. And my eyes. And I don't like this little mini-game that feels like brainwashing. But I have a fun thanksgiving party game now.

I took the Hispanic Test and I got no automatic preference between Hispanic Americans and European Americans which is pretty accurate since my entire life has been surrounded by the Hispanic American and European American categories. My entire family originates from Mexico so I would often times go visit down there and although there is a pretty large population of Hispanics/Latinos in Indiana, the majority is white. But, growing up with two different sets of people, backgrounds, perspectives, etc., has allowed me to understand both sides as I know the social cues and characteristics associated with them. Going forward, I will continue to have this understanding of all backgrounds and continue to respect those backgrounds in my classroom and my life. Even if I don't fully understand a culture or background, I will do my best to get a general understanding to not seem ignorant and promote inclusivity for all.

I took the Hispanic Test and I acknowledged I had trouble with the good and bad and last names between European Americans and Hispanic Americans. I feel more comfortable around Hispanic Americans compared to European Americans since I feel more relatable and accepted by them. I would consider some Spaniards to be apart of my culture even though it is European.

I also took the Sexuality test and I know my full thoughts and viewpoints on that. I went towards moderately prefer straight people and that is just a preference for me to be around. I don't view it as a bad thing to be gay or have friends that are gay but I just don't really talk to people that are gay. I don't mind lesbian women or transgender people I think they are okay in society.
