Interesting results

Strong automatic preference for dark skin (I am white)
Strong automatic preference for Judaism (I am Catholic)
No automatic preference between African American and European American
Slight association of European American with American and Asian American with Foreign
Slight association of Male with Science and Female with Liberal Arts

Not sure about the Judaism thing but the main problem is that Judaism is taken seperately from "others". If it had been Judaism vs Christianity I bet I would have been more balanced.  

I had a lot of trouble following the instructions. The good vs bad associations are so contrary to my natural instinct it was hard to follow and I kept making errors in my first try.

A slight bias on my part when it comes to Asian American vs European American and when it comes to Math and gender.

Ah well I am not perfect!
Good stuff though.

Not sure why you would have rolleyes. In fact I am not even sure why I would have "strong preference for people of dark skin" but that's the way my results turn out.

I have dark skin.  I'm white.  That's why I rolled my eyes.  The test is stupid.  It measures your hand-brain coordination and tells you what hand you type better with, that's it.

Well I should have said I have light skin.

I don't disagree here. I made mention of it in the comment section. I noticed I would go faster if the "good"/positive section is on the right since I am right handed. I had veru significant errors when the good section was on the left and associated arbitrarily. In order to get more accurate results it's best to do the same tests twice.

The main problem I had with the tests is that it forces you to think in good/evil relationships which is every hard to do for me.

"Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between African American and European American."

I really don't see how that test is meant to prove anything, though.

What the heck? There's a test now to see if you're racist? In my opinion, who really cares if you are or not? It's not like you can be unracist and change your mind just because you took some online quiz , and it shouldn't be anyone business if you are...

Everyone is trying to push this multiculturalism thing on people nowadays, and some folks just can't fully grasp the phrase of "Leave me the f__k alone, and stay out of my business...whether it be racist or not"

The way I see it is that if you're racist, and don't go around hurting anyone, that's cool. If you're not a racist, that's cool too.

Look dude, I just thought it was an interesting test.  I am not trying to push jack shit onto you.  It is mentioned in many various psycology books because of it's overall sucess.

I got "little to no" which surprised me actually, given that I'm a member of the KKK.
Obviously not, but I do live in a predominantly white, middle class area.

I would not have called it a test of racism. It is more a test of unconscious bias. It's not the same thing.

Yes, the title is just to get you into the topic.  Not really a test to see if you are racist.
