Measure Your Bias
Implicit Association Test
Do you hate fat people? Black people? Gay people? How much would you say you hate them?
Are you sure?
You can take a test and find out just exactly how much you really hate particular groups of people. At Harvard, they set up an online test, the Implicit Association Test, that uses your response times to determine your for-real-and-for-true current level of hate-ism.
Now you can pinpoint what an unfeeling wretch you actually are. Or what a naive sap you are, conversely. There is no middle ground. No, I made that up. The test itself does not judge.
I do judge, though. I know! I took the test!
The only improvement I can suggest at this time is to add a test to see how much you hate stupid people. (Disclaimer: I personally do not need this test.)
