Ok, new controversial tests
(inherent personal biases and subconscience categorising) and you may prefer not to post your results here (but you can of course) and I do hope you enjoy the links and learn things about yourselves.
If you want to discuss the validity of the test, the social reasoning behind it, your results and why you got them please open another thread elsewhere, as I don't want to polute this one. Oh, and once again, no mockery or abuse based on results please.
These tests are generally not that long (some of them may only be relevant to North Americans)
The Harvard Implicit Association Test(s)https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/selectatest.htmlA short description
Psychologists understand that people may not say what's on their minds either because they are unwilling or because they are unable to do so.
The unwilling-unable distinction is like the difference between purposely hiding something from others and unconsciously hiding something from yourself. The Implicit Association Test makes it possible to penetrate both of these types of hiding. The IAT measures implicit attitudes and beliefs that people are either unwilling or unable to report.
There are a number of tests available (these are all different, seperate tests, they can all be found on the link above) I'm not going to link them all as they are all on that one link, but I will post an example list of what tests are available (these are the more interesting ones)
