So I watched this documentary on PBS a few weeks ago, all apart of their Black History Month programming (granted they air stuff like this year round). I wish I remembered the name of it to suggest for everybody else to watch.
The test is similar to the one I think we're all familiar with that has the children choose between a white doll and a black doll and ask them which one is good and which one is bad. This test does that with associating words with good and bad or black ppl and white ppl.

This isn't the exact vid from the doc I watched but it gives you the gist of what the test means
The Test
My results:
Be sure to read the directions and follow them. If you try to cheat or take the test slow to skew results it won't come out right anyway. So lets be honest.

Interested in see some of yall results. Especially non-white and non-black NTers

Thank you!
The categorization task you completed is called the Implicit Association Test (IAT). The task assesses associations between concepts by measuring how quickly a person can categorize, for example, GOOD words with White faces compared to GOOD words with Black faces. The idea is that the more strongly associated the two concepts are in memory, the more quickly you will be able to categorize words into those paired categories. Your score is reported as an implicit association of Good with White and Bad with Black if you were faster at categorizing Good words with White faces compared to Black faces. The test often reveals associations that are different than one's conscious beliefs. For example, even people who have no conscious preference between Black and White may still have implicit associations that White is better than Black.
Your results are reported below:
Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Black people compared to White people.
