1. Gay - Straight IAT.
"Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Gay People compared to Straight People." I wonder why a preference for gay people. Maybe I go to the theatre a lot and they are all not straight?
2. Fat -Thin IAT
"Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Fat People compared to Thin People." I remember blurting this to during primary six English orals to the examiner and was about to go on until I saw the incredible look of pity I saw on her face, for I had always been a plumpy child, bordering on overweight. I froze and switched to a more acceptable answer. I once said to a friend that I think toned men and women or very skinny ones look unhappy, dried up and hard.
3. African American - European American IAT.
"Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for African American compared to European American." Crap. I thought I would be neutral.
4. U.S. Election 2008 IAT
"Your data suggests a strong automatic preference for Black people over White people. Your data suggest no difference in your automatic preferences for John McCain vs. Barack Obama." Huh? A strong automatic preference?
5. Family - Career IAT
"Your data suggest a slight association of Female with Career and Male with Family compared to Male with Career and Female with Family."
I think I will ignore slight associations because it could go either way.
