This test has been posted before. I really doubt it's an accurate measure of implicit association

Now it's not working at all.

Jesus Christ what a waste of time.

anyway i took it again... i was on a roll with no mistakes for a while until the last two things...

in the end i got... "Your data suggest a strong preference for African American relative to European American"

well whoop de do... "The interpretation shown above is described as 'automatic preference for African American' if you responded faster when African American faces and good words were classified with the same key as opposed to European American faces and good words. It is marked 'automatic preference for European American' if you were faster when giving the same response to European American faces and good words. "

Black Dragon:

wouldn't you say this is an accurate measurement?

"Your data suggest a strong preference for African American relative to European American"

IIRC, the major problem I had with it was how the test was structured. The test at first pairs up white with good and black with bad, and then asks you to switch it around. So the test asks you to associate two things, and then reverses your association with it. It's not clear how much of the results is due to white and good being paired first and how much of it is really due to implicit association. To control for this factor, they should have paired black and good first for 50% of the tests.

Black Dragon:

actually i think they did that... i had black and good as the first part of the test...

thats what i was talking about... you got to take the test twice and take both versions.

I took the "Four Temperaments" test in digust. I came up as an "Idealist Counselor" which are the people that make the best uni teachers by the look of it.

Guess I'm in the right line of work.

**Shi Huangdi** · July 14, 2003, 01:01

thats funny. I've taken it like 3 times and it always matched White and Good first for me.

**Al B. Sure!** · July 14, 2003, 01:04

you still havent told us your results, Black Dragon...

**Shi Huangdi** · July 14, 2003, 01:09

It said I favored whites, as did around 80% of people who took the test IIRC.

so a majority justifies your racism? i see...

**Shi Huangdi** · July 14, 2003, 01:16

I'm not racist against blacks. Only those damned dirty Lebanese.

**Al B. Sure!** · July 14, 2003, 01:19

black dragon... nah i'm not hating... i mean i got strongly prefer blacks and i'm not racist against whites... so for real this test don't mean too much.

**RGBVideo** · July 14, 2003, 01:22

What race are you?

I'd guess that MarkG is a human... don't count on it, still.

Your data suggest a slight preference for European American relative to African American

Southern white boy, 17th generation.

That is, if you believe in the reality of the social construct called "race"
