Implicit Association Test

The first test I took was a weight test. I have no preference for at or thin people. I like all kinds of people. what makes me not like certain people is that if I do not get good vibes from a person. I try to give people chances and do not always base things off the vibes I get because some people turn out to be some of the best people I know. I do not agree with my results that I like thin people more than fat people. The next test i took dealt with gender roles. The results came up that I associate women more with the career category and men with the family category. Once again I do not feel any bias way towards a particular group or which categiry they belong in. The last test I took was the sexuality test. I kind of agree with my results because I do associate myself more with straight people with gay. But, I have absolutely noting agaisnt gay people. I feel they all deserve the same happiness as any human beings.

I feel my results turned out the way they did because mentally I memorized the categories the way they were the first time around. It also made me automatically click the certain button for the categories because the first pair up was done twice. For example the gender test men' name were on the left and women names on the right had two group names into these categories twice. Then they put men and careers together and women and family together, did this twice. So, when men names moved to the right and women to the left it made it difficult because I had myself accustomed to a particular way. I was able to quickly alternate but at times I would click the button for where the certain category had been.
