IAT test

My test results did not surprise me.  It did reveal that I do have some hidden biases but at one point during the test I decided just to click things regardless of the categories at the top said.  Although I question the study behind this test that tells you whether or not you prefer white people or black people.  Its hard to see how someone can get your racial preferences from a  good, bad or white or black survey.  If the person is white they’re white, if black then black, if joy is good then its good, agony is bad then its bad.  Sorting words and faces into categories logically is not representing any hidden emotions, the program even tells you if you are wrong  so it is already set up to categorize the information given into the proper logical spot.
