Race IAT

In Blindspot, the authors reveal hidden bias based on experience with implicit association testing. Project Implicit is hosting an electronic version of Blindspot's IAT lavishly. These should work on all desktop computers and some touch screen devices including iPad, Android tablet, Nook tablet and Kindle Fire.

These tests are currently not supported on regular Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, standard Nook, and smartphones. Please use either a computer or a supported tablet

Please use the keyboard for best results. The left hand is the "e" key, the right hand is the "i" key. For touch screen: Place the device on a flat surface, use the landscape, use the left hand for the left faucet area and the right hand for the right faucet area.

If you encounter technical problems, please send a short description to blindspot@projectimplicit.net. I will do my best to reply.

Well, before you confirm your position on general implicit racial prejudice, click the Harvard University Project Implicit website and use the Implicit Association Test (IAT) written "Race IAT" please. Then when you get to it, try skin color IAT, President IAT, Weapon IAT, Arab Muslim IAT, Gender IAT, Weight IAT, or anything else. Needless to say, the results may surprise you. I have done a few tests recently, but let me say that some results make me feel a bit uncomfortable. Even if you are an African American (or belonging to another group, people are tacitly prejudiced) I think that your own test results may be at least uneasy

Greenwald and Banaji acknowledged that the IAT can not predict biased behavior. The problem of psychometric measurement related to racial IAT is "to make people more likely to classify people as potential people who are involved in discrimination," 2015, two years after comment by Blind Spot I wrote to. For example, you should not use IAT to pick a fair jury to maintain Greenwald. He told the "higher education chronicle" in January. "I do not think that we will inevitably diagnose behavior that leads to racial discrimination and prejudice." Their preliminary position: IAT can not predict individual prejudiced behavior, but overall discrimination and faults They are "statistics I think that "small influence on" may have "a big impact on society". It is said that if society has a high level of tacit prejudice against blacks of IAT it is acting at a higher level of discriminatory behavior. Skeptics Hart Blanton dismissed this argument.
