I completed the Race IAT (Implicit Association Test) and am proud to say was
rated non-preferential concerning people of European and African origin.

Next up for me:  Sexuality IAT

Care to join me in taking a series of tests?

The Implicit Association Test
https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/takeatest.html

It is well known that people don't always 'speak their minds', and it is
suspected that people don't always 'know their minds'. Understanding such
divergences is important to scientific psychology.

This web site presents a method that demonstrates the conscious-unconscious
divergences much more convincingly than has been possible with previous
methods. This new method is called the Implicit Association Test, or IAT for
short.

This website provides several IATs concerning:

Gender-Science IAT
Gender - Science. 
This IAT often reveals a relative link between liberal arts and females and
between science and males.

Weight IAT
Weight ('Fat - Thin' IAT). 
This IAT requires the ability to distinguish faces of people who are obese
and people who are thin. It often reveals an automatic preference for thin
people relative to fat people.

Race IAT
Race ('Black - White' IAT). 
This IAT requires the ability to distinguish faces of European and African
origin. It indicates that most Americans have an automatic preference for
white over black.

Religion IAT
Religion ('Judaism - Other Religions' IAT). 
This IAT requires the ability to recognize religious symbols from various
world religions, especially Judaism.

Age IAT
Age ('Young - Old' IAT). 
This IAT requires the ability to distinguish old from young faces. This test
often indicates that Americans have automatic preference for young over old.

This IAT requires the ability to recognize White and Black faces, and images
of weapons or harmless objects.

This IAT requires the ability to recognize White and Native American faces
in either classic or modern dress, and the names of places that are either
American or Foreign in origin.

This IAT requires the ability to distinguish names that are likely to belong
to Arab-Muslims versus people of other nationalities or religions.

ability to recognize White and Asian-American faces, and images of places
that are either American or Foreign in origin.

between career and males.

This IAT requires the ability to recognize light and dark-skinned faces. It
often reveals an automatic preference for light-skin relative to dark-skin.

distinguish words and symbols representing gay and straight people. It often
reveals an automatic preference for straight relative to gay people.
