	Has anyone ever visited this website? Got spare money?

I thought it was interesting -- after a professor in our American Civil Rights course pointed out this website, I came back to my dorm to check it out.

Has anyone else come across this website? Have you tried one of their hidden bias tests?

When I have time tomorrow, I think I'll select one of the tests and see how the results come out. I haven't looked at it that much at this point.

I took the native American test and I'm slighty bias in my thinking that native American and American are the same.

ACK!

I have doubts on how scientific those tests are. I don't think you can objectively measure well hidden opinions..

With the black/white weapons association test, I tended to put weapons on the right side regardless of who it was associated with. These tests have a reasonable method, except I think there's a lot of variables.

Psychology deals with observable, repetable behavior. Hidden Bias is too much a subject for the inner realm of the mind to make it a good subject for scientific study.

I did the fat test(had done race test before) and remembered my main problem with it. For the first part of the test, the minority group and good are put on the same side. For the second part of the test, the majority group and good are poot on the same side. However, what the test doesn't take into account is that people might simply become better at taking the test once they get further into it because they are more used to it. That would cause people to make to get more right on the second part of the test, which could artifically produce results showing a preference for the majority group. The test fails to take into account how used to taking the test you are in scoring the result.

Moreover, two of the words "Peace" and "War" should not have been used. Many people right now are in favor of a war on Iraq and are annoyed at peace protestors- this could interfere with them automatically associating peace as good and war as bad, even if they ultimately would like their to be more peace and less war.

Shi Huangdi, we probably should not take the test so seriously in the literal sense, but it might give some idea, to some extent, on what your biases are.

I don't need a website to tell me who I am. I know who I am. And I am very tolerant, and I'm not a racist.

I wanted to point that out as well, Sloww.

with all seriousness. It is wrong, and people should stop it. It doesn't differ from refering to being temporary stupid as a "black moment", an "Inuit moment" or what not.
