IATs

What was your experience like completing the Implicit Association Tests? Did you feel stressed? Anxious? What were your thoughts while reading your results? Were you surprised? Upset? Or, were your results what you expected? This reflection is a significant opportunity to share with other participants.

On the following IATs this is how I scored:

Skin Tone IAT: Your responses suggested no automatic preference between Dark Skinned People and Light Skinned People.

Race IAT: Your responses suggested no automatic preference between Black people and White people.

Native IAT: Your responses suggested little or no automatic association between American and Foreign with Native American and White American.

Asian IAT: Your responses suggested a slight automatic association for American with Asian American and Foreign with European American.

I didn't really feel stressed or anxious, I kind of like speed tests and that's what it felt like. I guess I was a bit surprised and happy...I assumed I would have a stronger bias toward whiteness just because of how I grew up...but I have had rich experiences my whole life with people of color and at times been the minority among colleagues, I had hoped it was shaping my mind over time and by choosing to be with all types of people and strive for relationships to learn...my mind surprised me in a positive way.
