There is this Harvard test/survey which shows you which race you might have preference for. So lads, click on the Race Test, and tell us how racist you are.

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/uk/selectatest.jsp

Apparently I have a moderate preference for white people. But I blame the order in which they made me do the test.

Also, I'm not sure, but someone told me they did something with this test on a documentary on BBC3.

I'm pretty drunk but I was perfectly fine for the first part, nailing everything until the last bit where they completely changed it around. Is that fair? It's like through the majority of the test, they condition you for what right means and what left means so you can get into a pretty good rhythm for quick responses, but then switch them entirely at the very last bit and expect that to not confuse someone Who's had half a bottle of whiskey? Of course you're going to respond slower then. This seems like a ruse.

I got the same as OP and that's probably fairly accurate but I don't believe that has anything to do with the test. It sets you up to play the game then switches it around like those "click the colour of the word not the colour the word says" games. Bollocks do I associate black people with the word agony, that doesn't make sense.

Internalised racism. That's what it is.

I imagine they figured out how to control for that, Harvard folk are not idiots. Incidentally even after that swap was made, I was able to go much faster when whiteness was grouped with goodness.

I got 'strong automatic preference for white people', and the thing is I was already painfully aware of this. Despite thinking of myself as progressive and liberal, and knowing on every rational level that racism is ridiculous, I can't seem to overcome my instinctive feelings of repulsion when unexpectedly seeing people of other races. I think that instinct would be lessened if I didn't grow up in a town that was almost 100% white.

Apparently I also have the 'strong automatic preference for white people' but I dunno like >>3960 I'm pretty buzzed so I messed up a few times even with the identifying faces task. I'm a bit paranoid now because they went on to ask questions that could be designed to identify extremists.

I guess that is another name to the drunken racists membership list.

I took it two more times, purposefully doing the reverse of what I did to get "moderate preference to white people", yet it still came out as "slight preference for white people". Even trying on purpose to associate the bad things with white people is hard, as it seems more often than not the bad words are tied to black faces more throughout the test.

IATs measure very slight differences in the timing of keypresses. It is designed to be difficult to consciously influence.
