Implicit Association Test Blog (Fat or skinny)
In my test it was to distinguish fat people from skinny people by looking at there face. And then it would put positive words and have pictures of fat people and skinny people and you would read the word and put positive and/or negative for the word. It was kind of tricky because i was thinking about the earlier part of it were it was all about the faces. So i think the test is sort of set up to get the results that Harvard wants.

I also felt that the tests were rigged so that Harvard would get the answers they wanted. When I did my test it seemed that when I got the wrong answer it made me change it so that it was the right answer.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think that Harvard wants to make you surprised by the results that you get. They want the shock factor. Also, it makes them seem really smart if they tell you something about yourself that you didn't know before. It's rather dumb, in my opinion.
