IAT Test

Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Young compared to Old.

I dont get the point of this, nor do i agree with it. I prefer young people when i am looking to hang out and relax or do something. I prefer old people when i am looking for criticism, and for advice. I can learn alot more from "old people" than i can from young. I do not prefer one or the other at all.

Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American compared to African American.

This was a weird one. As bad as it sounds, i found myself linking the bad things to black people and the good things to white. I do not consider myself a racist whatsoever, and i treat black people as the same as i would anyone, but i found myself thinking with the stereotypes. That was an eye opening test.

Your data suggest a strong association of Black Americans with Weapons compared to White Americans.

I could have predicted the turnout of this test. Once again as bad as it sounds, i linked the weapons to the black people and the harmless items to the white. I found myself once again quickly going with the stereotype, and when i think about it, i think the point of this test was not to show everyone who is racist and who is not, but to show that people think with stereotype on impulse. It does not make people bad people if they think on impulse, it just shows the bad things society has taught people to think.
