ITT Harvard uncovers your true predispositions and prejudices

Take one of these tests and post your results. Pretty much if your finger slips there's a good chance the leading university in the world is going to tell you you hate black people, and who are you to say no to them? Also: if anyone has a deeper understanding of what goes on behind these tests beside the obvious, feel free to post (I'm too lazy to research the process behind it.) Double also: this is definitely really old and I'm sure most of you have taken one. But, you know. Or maybe not.

Arab-Muslim IAT - Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Other People compared to Arab Muslims.

This was an interesting test, actually. It was laid out different than any other evaluation that I have encountered, and was interesting in how it was carried out. I found it odd how you had to sort the names and feelings into categories, and when they grouped names and feelings together, I didn't really understand what it meant until I read my final evaluation.

Good find.

NetJet!...y.....you Islamophobe (N.B.: I will be recycling this joke throughout however long this thread lasts.)

My results for one of them: "Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Light Skin compared to Dark Skin."

nice subjectivity. How about you look at the actual test before you come up with opinionated reasons as to why the tests suck.

**robertsona** · 07-4-2011, 11:15 PM

Andrew Mitchell was joking, in his Andrew Mitchell-y way.

**Netjet!** · 07-4-2011, 11:16 PM

Okay, keep to the thread folks.

**DossarLX ODI** · 07-4-2011, 11:35 PM

Your Result
There were too many errors made to determine a result.

**robertsona** · 07-4-2011, 11:38 PM

Don't play it like a two-arrow FFR haha

Your data suggest a moderate association of European American with American and Asian American with Foreign compared to Asian American with American and European American with Foreign.

Duh

Your data suggest a strong association of Female with Science and Male with Liberal Arts compared to Male with Science and Female with Liberal Arts.

Apparently, I have a strong automatic preference to thin people as opposed to fat people.
Well, that means I don't like 95% of Internet users. :/

Implicit processes are typically happening below the level of consciousness and represent bias you have towards something that you don't necessarily think about. Think of it as a snap judgment, which can be influenced by many learned factors.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you hate black people or are islamophobic, for example.

Anyway, I've taken most of these before. I'm biased against black people, gays, fatties, muslims and associate black people with dangerous weapons ftw.

(actually, I think I posted this a couple of years ago here XD )

**robertsona** · 07-5-2011, 09:12 AM

Haha, well of course my implication that "if your finger slips [...] you hate black people" was in jest, but I now understand a little better. Thanks!

Below is the interpretation of your IAT performance, followed by questions about what you think it means. The next page explains the task and has more information such as a summary of what most people show on this IAT.

Your Result
Your data suggest a strong association of European American with American and Asian American with Foreign compared to Asian American with American and European American with Foreign.

eh... ok

I don't really feel like wasting my time on this..

"Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for WHITE PEOPLE compared to BLACK PEOPLE"

We did this exact test in my IB Theory of Knowledge class my senior year of high school and every single person in the class got that answer, including the black students.

I would also like to point out that I attended a school that was roughly 96% white students and the majority of the minorities were asian. So perhaps there is some validity in the test? Or not? haha

Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Straight People compared to Gay People.

I knew this was gonna happen as soon as I noticed I kept ****ing up when Gay and Good were on the same side lmfao
