IAT Results

My results for the Race Test were I have a moderate automatic preference for European Americans compared to African Americans. I do not consider myself to be prejudice however I was not surprised by these results. Growing up I did not have many experiences with different cultures. I attended schools that were not very diverse. It was not until Middle School that I had classes with people from diverse backgrounds.

My results for the Gender Test were a moderate association of Male with Career and Female with Family compared to Female with Career and Male with Family. I was a little surprised by these results because in my family both of my parents have always worked full time, sometimes working two jobs.
