Implicit Associations Tests- Are you [___]ist?

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/selectatest.html

Are our SL players racist, ageist, biased? What implications does this kind of a study have for SL? Would our avatars make more friends with a certain racial type, age, or attire?

NOTE: It could take a while to work through these.

I'm going to add a poll. Mods, Delete this thread. Arigatou Gozaimasu!

Ugh, this test has me all cross-eyed and twitchy. I took the Sexuality IAT. That second part -- the word assocation thing -- was just freaky. In the end, it said my results were "non-conclusive." Well, then bloody hell why did I just spend 10 minutes on this dang test?!

LOL.

Hey, I started one with a poll in the General section. The poll only deals with appearance (except for fat vs. thin because I figure the answers to that are obvious when I look at our mass media). Feel free to start another thread with a poll regarding sexuality!

Heh ;0 I posted in the other thread Jeska moved, but meh.. I'll repost because I'm a spammy bastard...


These tests cant tell you if YOU have bias at all. I think this is fase.. They rely on many many many results to show trends.

Personally I think I'm not a very good sobject, because I develope spacial coralations and then they throw up a switch, and I have to make a quick judgement? If I make a quick judgement, I don't think of the new positions, but rely on the original position of the category when I went through the first round.. It's conditioned. The ideas that I develope are not "young old?" "good bad?" I think "right or left?" "Bad left" "Good right" "Old left" "young right"


That doesn't mean there is no useful data to be gained from this test, only that an individual result is TOTALLY meaningless, even when compared to the thousands of other results. My result or your result doesn't mean this or that.. It's a statistic only.

Different tests have differens purposes, and I think this one is not designed to give out meaningful personal results.
