I took the Religion IAT and it just involved three religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. My results were that I have a moderate automatic preference for Judaism over Islam. I am not very surprised at all by these results because out of all of the biases I have, I don’t think religion is a strong one of mine. However, obviously, as we’ve read and heard, this does not mean much because we have implicit biases without thinking about them and we just pass snap judgments without maybe even meaning to. Anyway, I was also not very surprised that, given that there had to be a preference, I have a preference for Judaism over Islam because I am friends with a lot of Jewish people but I do not think any of my friends or even anyone in my schools growing up were Muslim. Because of my environment and the religions I have been exposed to and associate certain people in my life with, it makes sense why my preference leans toward Judaism. I do wish the test included more religions to see what my preference would be because just doing the test between two religions feels too general. Even though I am not surprised by the results of the test, I don’t see how the test I took could determine this automatic preference of mine. All the test had me do was give an immediate response whether something belonged to Islam or Judaism or whether it is something good or bad. When I made a mistake, it was because I was tired of clicking not because of something else, so I would like to take another test to see if there is a better way to determine this implicit bias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
