This was by far the most interesting test I have ever taken before! I thought it was odd how they pair male/female names with career/family words. My gender test results showed a 40% strong association between male and career. For some reason while taking this test I did find it easier to associate male names with career words then it was with women names. So somewhere in the back of my head I must have a stronger association with male/careers and female/family??
The race test results showed a 48% strong automatic preference for white people. This was also interesting because I don't see myself as racist or anything so I am not sure what to think about it. Could it have something to do with my upbringing in Utah and the majority of the population is white? This test was difficult because it gave African American and White faces with happy or sad words and at times was confusing.
These tests were very interesting in how they test for some kind of hidden or unconscious bias. I guess that is why it is an unconscious bias because the results were surprising to me. I would probably never use these with my students just because I think it is a test better handled by adults.
