Harvard IAT Test II

I took the Harvard IAT Race Test a second time to see if after the course my score was different at all. However it seemed that I had the exact same result as the first time. Does this surprise me at all? No it doesn't because it would probably take a life time in order to change my subconscious thought and even then it would be unlikely for me to get a different result because these "reactions" are programmed into our brain at a young age depending on the things we see and experience.

You have completed the African American - European American IAT.

Your Result

Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for European American compared to African American.
Thank you for your participation. Just below is a breakdown of the scores generated by others. Most respondents find it easier to associate African American with Bad and European American with Good compared to the reverse.



Many of the questions that you answered on the previous page have been addressed in research over the last 10 years. For example, the order that you performed the response pairing is influential, but procedural corrections largely eliminate that influence (see FAQ #1). Each visitor to the site completes the task in a randomized order. If you would like to learn more about the IAT, please visit the FAQs and background information section.
