IAT – Implicit Association Test

While exploring iTunes U recently I downloaded a couple of psychology lectures from the University of Washington. During one the lectures they talked about the a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_Association_Test”IAT (Implicit Association Test/a). These are self-administered tests that will help you find out your unconscious levels of prejudice about age, gender, race, self-esteem, and mathematics vs. art. (Wikipedia Entry) At the a href=”https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/”Harvard IAT web site /ayou can take a variety of IATs. I took one comparing Canada and the United States and one comparing Obama and McCain. It was interesting learning about my natural biases.
