Take this test (click the button for race). I can see how it works, but I still have some doubts as to how well it works.
Discuss, and please do not argue.
It lists me as having a "strong" automatic bias towards white people.
Are you biased?
Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American relative to African American.
I guess I learned something new today. I'm sure my participation in a European history class right now affected the results in this though.
UPDATE
Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American relative to African American
That's a true statement. Black people intimidate me.
Cool, this age test seems acurrate:
Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Young relative to Old
Now I'm going to take the other tests let you guys know what I got.
Your data suggest a strong association between science and Male relative to Female
Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for STRAIGHT PEOPLE relative to GAY PEOPLE
Your data suggest little or no automatic preference for European American relative to African American
That's interesting...
Just took the fat vs. thin test.... Those were some goofy looking people. No preference though.

Well ok, but this is nothing astonishing... clearly you're going to have some degree of bias towards people similar to yourself.
I don't like online tests, because I like to think that I don't need a test to say who I am. After watching my brother take the test, I think the results could depend on your skill in the game.
I find that I am uncomfortable around black people only because I don't want to act differently and offend them. Some say that this is a type of racism. With fat people, I think I have a thin preference, but it is more againt obese people.
What did they test on in the gay test? What did they show? Gay porn?

Do you tend to assume that black people automatically expect you to dislike them? (Not bashing on you, I'm just curious.)

If your result was described as 'inconclusive'
yea im biased
that is why i sit in front on a pc screen to get my human companionship
Am I the only one who thought the test was ridiculous? I quit halfway through because I was getting tired of pressing 'e' and 'i'.

Maybe... It could also be a fear about myself. I act differently for other groups as well too. I act alot more respectful around older people, and worry about what they think of me.

I thought the boss level at the end was kick-ass.

Same here man. I found it stupid.
i took the young/old one..

It's a bogus test because it first has you test by accociating european americans with good and african americans with bad, and then has you try to associate african americans with good when you already have it in your head that eurpoean americans are on the same side as good.
It says that I am slightly biased towards eurpoean americans.
Apparently, "Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for White American relative to Black American", which kinda sounds about right. I don't mean to be racist, but I do feel a little more secure around white people then coloured people. Doesn't help that I haven't encountered that many in my life, living on the south coast of England, but hey.
