My husband put me onto this site. You can test your own implicit attitudes toward race, gender, age, politics, and academic subjects. I've just taken the "age" test and find to my dismay that I have a "moderate implicit attitude favoring young over old." Interesting!

Well, I'm not real sure what this indicates about me overall but:
I strongly prefer "old" people
I slightly associate females with science
I have no preference as to color
I have always sought out "older" people, when I was in my mid 20's all my friends were 65+ (they used to call me the Kiddo)
Now that I am "old" myself, I don't have all that many "older" people to associate with and I am not too crazy about my peers!!!
Since I majored in microbiology, I am not surprised that I associate females with science and not just liberal arts.
My mom raised me to not judge on race but on actions. I guess her teachings took! When only seeing faces associated with words, I saw no difference. I am pleased with that.
This sounds like an interesting test. But I am unable to access the link. In fact, although I can access every University in the Northeast, Yale University will not display.

Aw shucks, plsmith! And I was so hoping to make a great impression on all my new fellow Californians. The test really is pretty interesting to me.
Helen: I'm sorry you can't access that. When I first went to that site, I thought it was happening to me, also; the screen was blank for about a minute (their home page warns about this and says it takes a while to load)but it sounds as though you won't be able to get to it. Ah well . . . .

I won't look at anything from Yale on GP. Full of ****** ********! And idiotic residents too! And the bleep from bleep.

I know exactly how you feel!
Anyway, I just diagnosed my problem. My virus protector...Norton would not cooperate with my XP and Yale was the only university in America that I could not access.
Snowy, Maybe Norton knows what we know. LOL!
I removed the virus program and immediately, it came up. But now, I don't have time to take the test....Maybe later.
