A range of tests designed to measure people's conscious or unconscious prejudice. Not sure I really trust the methodology but interesting none the less.

Measuring Implicit Associations

Psychologists understand that people may not say what's on their minds either because they are unwilling or because they are unable to do so. For example, if asked "How much do you smoke?" a smoker who smokes 4 packs a day may purposely report smoking only 2 packs a day because they are embarrassed to admit the correct number. Or, the smoker may simply not answer the question, regarding it as a private matter. (These are examples of being unwilling to report a known answer.) But it is also possible that a smoker who smokes 4 packs a day may report smoking only 2 packs because they honestly believe they only smoke about 2 packs a day. (Unknowingly giving an incorrect answer is sometimes called self-deception; this illustrates being unable to give the desired answer).

The unwilling-unable distinction is like the difference between purposely hiding something from others and unconsciously hiding something from yourself. The Implicit Association Test makes it possible to penetrate both of these types of hiding. The IAT measures implicit attitudes and beliefs that people are either unwilling or unable to report.

Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between White People and Black People.

Thanks...

I thought the implicit association between Charley pretending to be pregnant, and Emily's retort that 'You're pushing it out you n*****' was a curious one.

It seemed to come out of the blue to Charley and Nicky, but if reports about Emily's attitude towards black people she's dealt with in her own life are true, Emily may have some very racist associations in her own mind.

I wasn't sure about Charley's assessment that 'she's used to saying it', but the stories do lend a lot of weight to Charley instinctive assessment.

Your data suggests you are an evil cross burning, white hood wearing, lynch happy racist. It also suggests you have no friends, have bad breath and should never have gone out wearing that.

B*gger.

I have done the skin tone one before so I did the Arab Muslim test.

I have a moderate preference for Arab Muslims!
