Harvard Implicity Tests

I found the Harvard Implicity Tests stressful. I don't know if it really reflects my feelings or views. I was too busy trying to remember which button to push to think about what the pictures represented. I was thinking right hand or left hand - not race, weight, religion etc.

I think that the tests are an interesting concept, but I'm not sure if they're accurate or just eye-opening. I think that it's very difficult to admit to stereotypes and prejudices in today's society. We want to believe that we have moved beyond this kind of judgment, but I think that it is human nature to classify and categorize. We need to know where we fit into a group, so we try to define the group. I think the problem is when those classifications prevent us from understanding the value of a person that we have a problem.
