Interesting...

...both the tests and the results...though in most cases I could have predicted the result.

One caveat - I somewhat question the white versus Black prefernce, as I founf it on occassion difficult to "understand" the picture. it owuld have been easier with color photos....

Your data suggest a moderate association of Male with Science and Female with Liberal Arts compared to Female with Science and Male with Liberal Arts.

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

Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Young compared to Old.

Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Fat People compared to Thin People.

Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for White People compared to Black People.

You scored 39% racist!

...all in all I guess this does explain my weakness for big booty white girl strippers...

Result: "Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between Black People and White People."

Don't find the test to be very useful. It is just muscle memory on which key to press. They try to change things up to trick you but I find this test kinda lame actually.

Hmm

"Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Black People compared to White People."

Ho kidding. So what was Chanelle's number again?
