[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: Race-Implicit Association Test (IAT)

Sender: Young, Mary

Colleagues and friends,


Having just finished reading the Hillard Heintze report regarding police data and the professional police review panel, I was compelled to follow-up on a test that I had read about a while ago and had been meaning to take.


Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaboration among researchers who are interested in implicit social cognition - thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. The goal of the organization is to educate the public about hidden biases and to provide a "virtual laboratory" for collecting data on the Internet.


The test is simple and takes about 15 minutes. Well worth taking in advance of our upcoming discussion on Tuesday night.
