Implict Association Test

This test showed that I had a slight prefreance for caucasion people. It also showed that I had a a slight association of male with career and femail with famil compared to female with career and male with family. I thought that this was really interesting. I did not relize or think that I had a slight prefrence for white people over black. I think that it is very interesting how the figure this out just by what buttons you push. I do think that I may have a slight prefrence for males to have the career and females to be associated with family but I think that is just what society teaches us. I don't however think that it is wrong or bad for a female to have a career and the dad to be with the family or for both parents to have a career. I wonder if this test can truely show if you are prejuidce or not just by pushing buttons. I don't think that they know how I feel about blacks or whites or any other race for that matter. So I don't think that this is the most accurate test.
