The IAT

     Implicit Association Test proposed some of the questions and exercises for us insight into their own. I have done two of IAT which is Age test and Weight test.
I have completed the Young - Old IAT at first. My result is:  
     "Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Young compared to Old."
     First it starts with pressing “e” for young people and good words; “i” for old people and bad words. Test consists of several conducted. In the first of the part, pressing "e" for young people; pressing "i" for old people. It was easy job, right? Second, pressing "e" for good words; pressing "i" for bad words. It still an easy one. And then, the third part was switching "e" for old people; "i" for young people. Based on our tests first and second part, we are affected, it is easy to choose the wrong answer. therefore, My test result was stronger preference for young. 
      My second test is Weight. My result is:
     "Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Thin People compared to Fat People."
     The weight test is samily to the age test what I had to done before. Pressing "e" for  thin people and good words; pressing "i" for fate people and bad words. Even thought I have had the experience of the test, I still press a wrong answer of the test. After the last test,I do better than last time. So that's why my result is a slight automatic preference for thin people.
    According to this two test. My conclusion is the result of my first time to took the test is more genuine and accurate then second test. Because all of the people absorbed the experience of the first time. For this two of IAT test. My personally think that was high accuracy for people testing their implicit association. With my own opinion, I preference young people compared to old. In my deep of heart, I think so. This test was explore my inner feelings. Althought I knew the methods of the test, I still totally agree with my result. I do not discriminate against fat people. That's my implicit's feelings. After this IAT test, I know more and more my self.
