This site (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/research/) is really interesting. It's a research study online where you can take tests that are supposed to reveal subconscious preferences or prejudices. So far it has told me that I moderately prefer thin people to fat people, I slightly prefer Burger King to McDonalds, and I more easily identify with Christians than with Jews.

Try it and post your results and what you think of the tests. My psychology teacher recommended this.:)

Yeah, those tests have found a majority of people prefer white vs non-white and young vs old. I'm part of that statistical majority, according to one such test.

*spends hours going through very dodgy sign-up questions*

edit: what’s a high school graduation in English terms?

What do you mean?

If you're under 18, I think it requires parental consent (which my dad gave), but is there another requirement, or is it something else?

I managed to get through to the site, but it's frustrating that you can't pick and choose which test to take (I was expecting to find out all about my prejudices towards christians and whatnot after taking a very long association test with parallel lines and rocks and trees, but it told me very little. :mad: )

And what's with the list of religions on the sign-up page? There's like 50 sub-denominations of the christian religion and half a dozen other non-christian religions... People's Front of Judea, anyone?
