'Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American compared to African American.'

[Ninastar]

a quiz on the internet isn't going to say whether you're racist or not (IMO)

Got annoyed during the endless tutorials and quit.

exactly Josh lol... you're the least racist person ever. Unlike the media/the internet wants you to think, there are hardly any (legit) racist people around. There is far far more love in the world than hate and I think it's better to focus on that

yeah I'm going with your theory, this can't be accurate. I did the sexuality one and bare in mind i'm gay, I got:

"Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Straight People compared to Gay People."

I actually just LOLed Josh, I wonder if these quizzes were made by tumblr or buzzfeed or something

'Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American compared to African American.'

Yeah Josh, I do take this with a pinch of salt but also see the value in it. I personally always found you and myself to be the most liberal of posters on this forum, so it's interesting that we both got the same strong preference for light-skinned people.

Nooooo a visual preference is not racism, what nonsense. We find attractive what we find attractive. For example, there aren't a huge number of black female celebrities who I find sexually attractive. That's not racism. You can't force yourself, or worse, pretend to find someone attractive when you just don't. A penis can't be racist . I mean, it would also be true to say that I have a (very) strong preference for dark hair (the darker the better) over blonde... does that mean I'm also a hair colour racist? Obviously, I have no issue with anyone due to their hair colour...

Strongly agrees with this ^
I didn't do the test because it wanted me to log in and leave my details.

It's asking me whether I prefer white people to black people but I don't know a single black person at all because I live in a very white middle class area. I think I'm racist for that.

[Niamh.]

Your data suggests:
Moderate automatic preference for White people compared to Black people.
The interpretation is described as 'automatic preference for White People' if you responded faster when faces of White People and Good words were classified with the same key than when faces of Black People and Good words were classified with the same key. Depending on the magnitude of your result, your automatic preference may be described as 'slight', 'moderate', 'strong', or 'little to no preference'.

Personally I just got a bit confused when they switched the sides. I wonder if they started off with white and black people on the opposite sides would it be a different result

You could have just done it as a guest

...this is one of the reasons that I hold very little store in statistics, which are often gained/manipulated from the most weird and inaccurate sources...

You just have a moderate dislike of everyone, equally

I did these tests devised by Harvard during my degree course, they are similar to the psychometric tests done during police training.
