SMC The Implicit Association Test for Gender and Science Discussion – Description
Go to Harvard’s website to implicit.harvard.edu/ to test your implicit assumptions.
Take a gender-related test and a second test of your choosing.
What was it like to take the test? The test is creatively designed to conform to and then deviate from the involuntary implicit associations in our minds.
Most of you will notice that you perform worse when the test does not conform to stereotypes. Did you notice? What types of associations did you discover? What were the average scores on the tests you took?
Only a portion of the tests are about gender. What other associations did the tests measure? Were these tests explicitly or implicitly intersectional? How so? How might these associations in our brain, and their intersections, operate in daily life?
