I did the implicit association for black and white and also for males and females. I did the black and white test first and didn't really understand how that was supposed to test association. I ended up being neutral but then when I took the male and female with careers and home life, I struggled more with the names and the careers. I made more errors and took longer in my response. I found that I was strongly biased towards men and careers and women at home, which isn't necessarily bad in my opinion, but that is how I think.
It was interested to see how difficult it really was so move those words around when I don't associate those words with those people. I thought it was a fun test, and it does do good at showing what your initial reaction is, but I don't think it would be good to show racism or anything much deeper than your initial reaction.
