The overall goal of this exercise is to examine how stereotypes unconsciously influence the perception process. Our primary resource for this exercise is the Race Implicit Association Test located on one of Yale University 's Web sites. This test was developed by researchers at Yale to measure the extent to which people inadvertently prefer European (whites) or African-American (black) individuals.

Follow the following link to the test: www.tolerance.org/hidden_bias/index.html. Follow the link at the bottom of the page that takes you to the “project implicit” Web site. Click the left button “demonstration.” Click “Go to the Demonstration Tests.” Read the information and disclaimer and click “I wish to proceed.” Click “Take the Race IAT.” When the test opens in a new window, follow the link “Click here to begin.” Read the introduction. Click “continue.” The assessment takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. A second assessment appears once you submit your results. You do not need to complete this assessment.
