Chapter 12 First Impression

For chapter 12 I decided to take two different IAT tests. I thought these tests were fairly interesting. Although they were very straightforward their results could be skewed very easily if you were just trying to go through as fast as possible, which could make you look biased according to what are outlined in these different tests. I think that this method of testing is very simplistic but very interesting at the same time because it can show the test taker if they tend to have any biases even if they are not actively aware of them.

The results from the first test that I took were very surprising because it stated that I reflected a strong bias one way or another, but after I took the second test it stated that I did not have a bias at all.

I think this test could be very helpful for college students or essentially anyone moving forward in their career. I believe this because I think this test could draw awareness to any individuals biases that they may not even know that they had and they could work on these particular biases.
