I decided to take the IAT today. I chose to do the skin color experiment where it shows whether you have a preference for people with light skin as opposed to people with dark skin. My results showed that I have an automatic preference for light skin rather than dark skin. This was based on the fact that I responded quicker with association good words when it was paired with light skin faces. I honestly don’t agree with the results. When I first took took the exercise it was harder for me to remember which side of the screen was for good and which for bad, and that happened when the word good was paired with dark skin faces. In the second part of the exercise i had gotten the hang of it, and since all they did was switch sides, it was a lot easier for me to remember. I know this because I was consciously aware of it while it was happening lol. All in all, it is an interesting exercise. I would take the other tests just to come up with more reasons why it isn’t accurate lol.
