The test isn't reliable or valid enough to predict actual behavior. Its creators have actually come out and stated this. I was able to manipulate it to say what I wanted it to pretty easily. My real problem is the idea of HR & Admin types thinking they have some kind of right to examine or manipulate people's subconscious. They're already enough of a pain in the ass, & I don't think many of them are trained psychologists.casa_mugrienta said:What do you think of implicit bias tests that are so HOT right now?Autoprax said:Mr Implicit bias out!

I took the above and found out and it said I didn't have a racist bone in my body!
They tell me I'm racist but I take their test and it says I'm not racist. So confusing.
Pics or it didn’t happen.1whoknows said:The movie was “Adam,” about transgenderism, and there were transgender people there, with transgendered children, and they were of color, and I was not bothered in the least.
What I wasn’t aware of is how progressive you guys are. It’s awesome. Not sure what to think when you express intolerance, but I’ll try to understandDuffy said:Zero self awareness.
Well, I’ve always known you’re a racist.1whoknows said:What I wasn’t aware of is how progressive you guys are.Duffy said:Zero self awareness.
Sounds like a great flick.1whoknows said:The movie was “Adam,” about transgenderism, and there were transgender people there, with transgendered children, and they were of color, and I was not bothered in the least.
“Liberal” and “bisexual” are not synonyms.Duffy said:Well, I’ve always known you’re a racist.1whoknows said:What I wasn’t aware of is how progressive you guys are.Duffy said:Zero self awareness.
Maybe if you actually paid attention to what I write here you’d that I’m quite liberal.

Yep, and to think only one side of the political spectrum's got people who think this way is pretty ignorant.Duffy said:Ah, now I see one of the reasons why you are the way you are. You grew up with and only associate with white people. If you had any non-whites in your schools growing up you likely avoided them, looked down upon them. Maybe you try sometimes to “help” them because you see yourself as a better, as a person who’s superiority (as a white man) has placed you in the position to be able to help your lesser man. But you fail to realize that need of help isn’t based on skin color.1whoknows said:Hung out in San Jose. Now in Marina Del Rey. I know y’all are by and large white folks posting here, as am I, but, let me tell ya, this ain’t a white country anymore, if it ever was. I know it’s hard, he’ll, it’s hard for me, but if you can’t get used to brown people talkin different than you, eating different than you, walking different than you.... you’re ducked. Sorry. It’s different now. (Actually, marina del Rey is pretty white).
To this day you see non-whites as “others”, as not part of the same society you are in. You notice an increase in non-whites and fret about things “changing”.
6 months ago my neighbor 3 doors over were white. Then non-whites moved in. Guess what? Nothing has changed except the names. The neighborhood is the same as before. Nobody cares.
Brown people are weird to you, hard for you to listen to and that bothers you. What bothers you even more is the fact that it bothers you so you project your own racist thoughts and feelings onto to others in an attempt to relieve yourself of the guilt.
It’s pretty sad that you’re like this but this post has bee very illustrative of your mindset.
Thanks for sharing.

Then why would being around non-whites be so hard for you? It isn’t hard for me. I’ve been a minority my entire life. It is literally a total non issue.
But for you it’s “hard”.
Interesting.

You know how it goes a lot of the time - "well, the so-and-sos are the real racists!"
