I took the first one about weight and I supposedly have a moderate preference for thin people over fat people. Not surprised, since I had put down earlier that I slightly preferred thin people over fat people.
just took the race one

haha i wouldn't take the tests to mean that a high implicit bias score means a person is necessarily racist. has more to do with proximity and common social relations to race than anything else, which is important to recognize. the tests are a measurement tool

a person who lives in an environment where their expected day consists of only seeing other white folk, for years, and their only experience w people of color are via media... the results are gonna be obvious. they might also be generally correlated with some degrees of ignorance, but that still doesn't make a person racist - their conscious actions are what's important

or well, unconscious actions still carry salient weight. realizing how those unconscious actions manifest and taking account of them is also important

With that test, putting people in the good category is easier than putting them in the bad category.

That's an amazing test. At the beginning they ask you if you already have a bias:

Then once you declare your bias, they conclude you have the bias.
You really need some bright minds from Harvard to tell you that you have a bias if you already declared you did. :lightbulb_brain:

I mean the test is about inherent bias, if youre aware enough of your bias to be able to identify exactly what it is that's not inherent bias. If I created this test, I would ask people if they were aware of their bias and use that as a baseline for their results.

I puffed some primo 30 minutes ago. This post made me think about those people saying "I didnt do nothing" I expect them to mean"... anything"
I always wonder if you actually can do nothing. Like, what would you be doing if you didnt do anything :?:
