Subject: Implicit Association Test - Gender Science

There's an interesting website (www.implicit.harvard.edu) that tests your unconscious beliefs about gender stereotyping. The Implicit Association Test, or IAT, asks you to first categorize words such as girl, aunt, grandma, wife with female (in the left corner of the screen) and boy, uncle, grandpa, husband with male (in the right corner of the screen)... easy enough. Then you're asked to categorize words like literature, music, humanities with liberal arts (left side of screen)and chemistry, biology, and astronomy with science (right side of screen)... again, easy enough. Then as rapidly as you categorized the first words you're asked to categorize these same words with the words female and liberal arts on the left, and male and science on the right. If you're at all biased it's easier to do this activity than it is to do the next task: Rapidly categorize the words when female and science are together on the left, and male and liberal arts are on the right. Your speed gives you a glimpse into your own gender stereotyping.

with liberal arts and men with science
