This link will take you to what is commonly referred to as the "Implicit Bias Test" the famous test created by Harvard University's Project Implicit designed to provide insight into the taker's own "biases" against certain groups of people. In reality, the test is called The Implicit Association Test (IAT) and here's how it is described on their website:
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures the strength of associations between concepts (e.g., black people, gay people) and evaluations (e.g., good, bad) or stereotypes (e.g., athletic, clumsy). The main idea is that making a response is easier when closely related items share the same response key.
We would say that one has an implicit preference for straight people relative to gay people if they are faster to complete the task when Straight People + Good / Gay People + Bad are paired together compared to when Gay People + Good / Straight People + Bad are paired together.
If you are beginning the journey into self-awareness, this is a great place to start!We would say that one has an implicit preference for straight people relative to gay people if they are faster to complete the task when Straight People + Good / Gay People + Bad are paired together compared to when Gay People + Good / Straight People + Bad are paired together.
