Test wouldn't load for me. I'm not sure if it was just waiting for a certain amount of time but after about 3 minutes (and no blinky-lights action on the modem) I gave up. Personally though, I believe that whenever I take a test like this I try my hardest to think about the question and not rush to judgement, to defy whatever "trick" the tester is trying to play on me - from the background, to the font, to the sequencing of questions...

LixyChick,

I can’t be certain, but your results may have been influenced by the speed of your connection. You have, in other posts, commented on the slowness of your modem. As the delta the tests are attempting to catch are measured in milliseconds, the “high ping” of your connection may contribute to your results. MilkToast and Belial may be able to confirm this.

I got the impression (based on the intro screen that actually did download - and my connection is quite reasonable, 512/128kbps ADSL) that the test was executed completely client-side in an embedded applet type of thing, and the delta would be measured on the client side and the recorded values sent to the server for processing. No need for jitter correction

At least, that's how *I*'d do it

Yes, they do. But -- honestly -- sometimes my sampling period is longer before I decide they have a chip on their shoulder. That's what saddens me.

Belial,

Fair enough. I saw the load time as most useful for the downloading of the graphics.

I asked because I wasn't sure if possibly the attitude was more of a issue than the race/ethnicity.

I spoke with my professor today and he has added this as a course requirement for his cross cultural class in the hopes that his students engage in some self relection as it has caused many of us to do. TY Osuche!

Well I have been taking a few of the tests and each time I am not influenced more one way or another in my bias towards people etc. This of course is not true for of course I have feelings of being biased against things etc.

I just think that I have great eye hand coordination(probably from playing video games lol) and therefore didn't make the expected errors. That or else I am perfect which of course is not the case.

Seriously....In this regard, I think you're a better women than me. Clearly.

I am not sure when my fear started to emerge, but I think it's been within the last 10-15 years. There is a "type" of black person running about the streets of COlumbus, that have a BIG chip on their shoulder and are out to hurt people who they perceive as having things they don't have.....these are the people who scare me, and there are some of those in my neighborhood.

It doesn't make it right...I am damned ashamed.....but it's the truth.


(((((((Osuche))))))))

I wasn't suggesting that I'm a better person than anyone, just that I'm pleased that I've been brought up in a cultural environment which I assume is what prevents me from falling into the 'expected' patterns of behaviour, as described in these tests.

However, perhaps it's not even my culture....having read about psychometric testing during my degree course, I'm very sceptical about these kind of things, and I know they can be easily foiled.

For me, it was a case of overriding what my reactions had learned from the first bit of the test, so that when black and white switched sides, I re-learned that while before black and bad were synonymous, now black and good were. How did I do this....a simple little memory trick to form a new association in my mind to keep me on track - I visualised Morgan Freeman playing the part of God in 'Bruce Almighty', therefore creating a very simple mental link that black=good. Keeping that in mind probably helped me to stay focussed on the fact that there had been a change. I use little 'concept association' tricks like that when I'm acting to help me remember lines too.

If Columbus is anything like Darwin, there are dis-satisfied people of all racial groups

who feel they have the right to "graze" on their economically better off neighbours (also of all racial groups).

Gentlefolk,

I tested out with a slight bias in favor of blacks and old people.

Reading back through the thread, the posts seemed to correlate with what seem to be to be the social norms of our respective youths. I wonder if this test is illuminating something similar to what I’ve read about imprinting in very young animals?
