Note: LJ Orgy / Your Wild LJ Night In Bay City / LJ Goofiness blogquizzes. (by Amanda deLassus, Donna, and Alex)


Harvard Implicit Association Tests

I did the religion implicit association test at Harvard.

You have completed the Judaism-Other Religions IAT.
The line immediately below summarizes the results of your task performance.
Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between Other Religions and Judaism.

If your feedback was 'The result could not be determined,' click here.

Your result, reported above, is already corrected for the order in which you took the parts of the IAT. If you have a question about the effect of order, please read the answer to FAQ 1 on the page of FAQs for this test.

The interpretation shown above is described as 'automatic preference for Judaism' if you responded faster when Judaism faces and Good words were classified with the same key as opposed to Other Religions faces and Good words. It is marked 'automatic preference for Other Religions' if you were faster when giving the same response to Other Religions faces and Good words. Depending on the magnitude of your result, your automatic preference may be described as 'slight,' 'moderate,' 'strong,' or 'little to no preference.'

This test measures implicit anti-Semitism, a tendency to associate Jews or Judaism with negative concepts more so than other social groups and religions. Anti-Semitism is widely believed to have declined in the last century, but nevertheless still exists, and may now exist more in implicit than overt form. This test uses symbols associated with Judaism, and contrasts them with combined symbols of several other religions. This design was intended to create a more general test than one that contrasted Judaic symbols with those of just a single other religion.

If you have unanswered questions about the task, please review the frequently asked questions about this type of research. Any followup questions can be directed to the researchers by email at that page.



I was looking stuff up about SmarterChild, and came across this site of conversations with a bot. Too funny!

SmarterChild also made me apologize to it because I insulted it. Too amusing. Corey told it to drink pee, haha... and also had to apologize for insulting it. He even sent me some transcripts, which the bot denies I have... his name on there is "Chin Ga," which means a bad word in Spanish. You don't want to know! It's definitely a cure for boredom!

I now have to clean up, sort of. Inspection tomorrow... eep!
