Exercise 3: Implicit Association Test I took two Implicit Associations Tests; the first regarding weight and whether or not I prefer fat people or skinny people‚ and the second regarding whether or not I prefer homosexual or heterosexual people.

I performed the light skinned versus dark skinned test on IAT. The results from my test showed that I favor dark skinned versus light skinned people. I do think the test produced valid results.

For example‚ the technique of offering a free gift‚ which either has a catch‚ or is included in the purchase price‚ or is fairly inexpensive‚ rarely works nowadays.

The implicit bias survey represents an individual’s unconscious bias. I believe these results to be unreliable because there were many factors which could alter the results. Factors that could have altered my results were being right handed or left handed and the way the questions were worded. I found some of the question difficult to understand.
