if you had continued, you would see that they switch things around SEVERAL times.

Finish it for an accurate result.

Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for White American relative to Black American

edit: if they would have started with the black and good on the same side, I think that the results would be reversed...

Tried it again, they flipped things around, but I still don't see the point. And it's taking way too long. Will finish it later and see what it says. I'm guessing it'll probably associate white with good and black with bad and I'll start making mistakes after awhile or something.

I'm impatient this morning, it's my day off. I get to go the dentist!

Reading the description, it asks you to sort african faces from european. That's not racism, that's being able to spot physical differences.

I'm not American, I live in the UK in an area with a black population of maybe 0.1%.
Haven't really met many black people, but to be honest, they are just people. And as wise man once say, everyone is pink on the inside ;)

I'm not so sure. I think this test just proves that we automatically associate our own race with good. I'm sure if any african amercan folks took that test they'd get the opposite result.

Btw, OP change your subject. Nowhere in the test does it mention that you're a racist. I bet the same test could be done with things like Gender, Hair Color, height etc.

i think i've read that this experiment is horribly bias based on the way it is set up. having white people assosicate with good and black with bad in the beginning can cause bias in the experimenter

No, but I bet the Haaaarvard folks who designed this test are racist.

That was retarded. It's just about if you happen to press the wrong button because you go too fast They alternate things move them from one side to the other. I only got 2 wrong the whole test because I was distracted. My results said:

But that's just because the two I got wrong were white people pictures.

Pretty lame.
