Prejudice tests from Harvard
serious crayons:
Here is an site sponsored by Harvard University with tests, designed by research psychologists, that claim to determine whether you are prejudiced, consciously or unconsciously, in matters of race, gender, sexuality, age, body size and so on. You are asked to sort terms and images into categories, and the test measures your speed and rate of errors. From that, the site calculates your level of prejudice.
For instance, my test results indicated a slight preference for young people over old people. :-\ However, they showed no preference between straight people and gay people :D or between thin people and fat people :D. I'm not sure I totally trust the tests -- I think you get better at doing them as you go along, and that affects your results (I did the old/young one first). Still, it's an interesting exercise, and supposedly scientific.

I took one of the tests and it was fun. I wonder if it skewed the score that once I put the word "nasty" in the Good category. :)

They must not have sufficiently researched the Brokie demographic!

I just am seeing this - I'm ambitiously trying to read 'All Unread Topics'! ::)
Anyhoo, the link is broken, I think...Katharine, do you know enough to browse to find it again? This should have generated more interest IMO.
Thanks,
Lynne

That's strange, the link worked for me. Well, here's another one from the site you could try. Otherwise, google "implicit association test," which is the name of the test. When I did, the first link that came up was to the site's main page and the second was to the page below, which gets you started on the test.
