Test your Attitude toward Religion or Race: Harvard's Project Implicit tests

Project Implicit measures "thoughts and feelings that exist outside of conscious awareness or conscious control" through a series of tests.

Harvard University researchers developed the tests.

Among the more interesting association tests are the ones on racial bias and religion.  The racial bias test requires the ability to distinguish faces of European and African origin.

The religion IAT test measures your attitude toward the different faiths.

I usually ask my religion students to take the religion IAT test and then reflect on the results. Were the results what they expected? Do they agree with the results?

Here is the link to the different tests. Read the disclaimer in which you acknowledge that you may encounter interpretations with which you do not agree.  Click "I wish to Proceed."  Scroll down to the Religion  IAT test and click on it to begin.
