NATIVE IAT test-
Your data suggest a strong association of White Am. with Foreign and Native Am. with American compared to Native Am. with Foreign and White Am. with American.
Young - Old IAT
Easier to associate Old People with Bad and Youn gpeople with good compared to the reverse.
Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Other People compared to Arab Muslims.
The interpretation is described as 'automatic preference for Other People' if you responded faster when Other People names and Good words were classified with the same key than when Arab-Muslim names and Good words were classified with the same key. Depending on the magnitude of your result, your automatic preference may be described as 'slight', 'moderate', 'strong', or 'little to no preference'. Alternatively, you may have received feedback that 'there were too many errors to determine a result'.
This new test was prompted by the events of September 11, 2001. Suicide pilots, identified as Arab Muslims, crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. killing about 4,000 people. That attack, and the military response by the United States and other countries in Afghanistan and Iraq have surely influenced conscious and unconscious beliefs and attitudes.
Native American test- Moderate association of white american with foreighn and native amderican with american compared to native american with foreign and white american with american.
I toook the test on Disability and found that I am greatly predjudice against disabled people, or a better way of saying that is that I perfer abled people. Duh! who else is going to get my iced Frappaccinos from the top shelves at Circle K! Who else is going to carry my heavy loads? I love abled people.
I completed the Religions IAT.
My Implicit Preference Scale:
• More positive - Christianity
• In the middle – Hinduism and Judaism
• More Negative – Islam
I’m not sure what all this is supposed to mean or prove, I already know that I hold Christianity higher than other religions and I didn’t even have to take a test to learn this lol.

Sexuality ('Gay - Straight' IAT)
This study ''said'' that I have a STRONG AUTOMATIC PREFERENCE TO STRAIGHT PEOPLE THAN GAY PEOPLE!
WRONG!!
This was the stupidest test I have ever taken! I actually was forced to take it again, having NO idea what these tests were about! After taking the first one, if I had known what these tests were scoring, I had wished I would have been MORE CAREFUL of which test I took! The first test results were on another category which I will leave nameless. And it was highly offensive to me and could have been to others! It was so far wrong and untrue I refused to use it! Now...after saying that! I still think that this test that I did decide to post was STILL WRONG! VERY WRONG! What's up with these tests that try to figure U out? I am not happy one bit with this assignment!

This implicit bias test was fun.I do plan on retaking it later to see if maybe anything has changed.I was surprised by some results and not by others.also talking about our results in class was fun,It is good to know some people actually can accept themselves and know their own personal bias.
