Implicit Bias Test

So there is this thing called the "Implicit Bias Test". It was invented by some Harvard student and this test is supposed to see if you are bias towards one thing or another. There were multiple tests that you could take including a race test, a skin color test, a religion test, and a fat/skinny test. I selected to take the skin color test.

For the skin color test, the program determined if you preferred light skin or dark skin. To do this, the test was broken up into multiple parts. The first part was a word/picture correlation where if a word like "happy" pops up on the screen, I had to click a button if it is "good" or "bad". If a picture of a light skinned person popped up, I had to click if I thought that they were light skinned or dark skinned. 

The next part of the test was easily the easiest but the most fun sucking thing about my day so far. There was a set of survey questions that I had to answer. about 17 questions all along the lines of "do you like light skin or dark skin better?". Of course the questions weren't that word for word but they all had that same type of theme to them.

The final portion of the test was filling out a basic "get to know you" type questionnaire. Just basic information like gender, area code, country, religion. I assume that all of the tests get complied and broken down to see if there is a trend between preference of skin tone to gender, area code, country, and religion.
