3. IMPLICIT ASSOCIATION PROJECT
Implicit Association Test
Researchers from the University of Washington and Yale University have developed an interesting psychological test to determine unconscious bias. The tests examine attitudes about race, age, gender, and self-esteem. The goal of the Web site is to promote self-education and self-understanding about these issues.
