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.
Stressed to remember which finger went with which descriptor. My results were on par with what I thought they would be - and that actually surprised me.
I was not surprised by my results from the IAT. I have taken it before and I remain consistent in my results. I did not feel stressed because I knew what to expect from the test. I know that my perspective has changed from five years ago when I first took the IAT. I am more aware of other people’s perspective and the importance of diversity. Yet, because I live in Vermont (the second whitest state in the Union) I do not come into contact with many people of color. Which is why I believe my results on the IAT have not changed over the years.
