    C'mon people, these tests are cool. They predict your prejuidices based on associations.
    Views on old people, african americans, etc.

      I hate questionaires where I can't answer the way I want to. Slightly agree and disagree don't tell enough. Also what bothered me is that I'm supposed to judge how other's feel.. How the heck am I supposed to know what other's feel?? And if I pick a random guess, how much does that really say about me? I did the first test just to see what it's made of, and my result was so vague (without any explanation at all) that I wonder to what extent tests like these are reliable. What exactly are they trying to show or prove??

        which did you take?
        The elderly test for example...
        shows you faces and you pick young or old by pressing i or e (the category names young or old are to the right and left of the screen). You two a couple series of those...
        Then you classify words as good or bad. Then you have old and good and young and bad in pairs on the top and you classify again. So, the work failure would get the letter (i or e) associated with the side that says bad... Then it swaps the pairs.
        The way it works is that it examines how long it takes you to make your decision. If it takes you longer to classify the good words when they're on the same side as old, then you have negative views of the old.

        These tests were designed to measure things that people won't/can't tell you on a survey. Do you have negative views toward the elderly? Many won't say yes.

        It just has a few questions like the one you described where you indicate the degree of agreement, in the beginning and those like any survey, just pick the one that's closest. It's not a big deal... it doesn't even matter that much what you pick on those.

          I actually took it when you first posted, I just didnt reply here. I took the race one and the gender association one. It seems that I prefer whites over blacks and have no gender associations. That actually makes a lot of sense considering how and where I grew up. Good one.

            I dont have a race preference, but I do have slightly negative views of the elderly. Haha... getting old isn't seen as a good thing. What can I say?
            I'm going to take a few of the others when I have time.

                I took the race test and well: Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American relative to African American. I don't know, it sort of gets you used to the idea that whites and goods go together at first then once you're used to that, it switches to whites and bads. It's kind of deceiving. I know I'm not racist... Bad siggie!
