The system may reveal something[1] about populations as a whole; however, I found un-learning the reflexes that the first part of the test trained was too hard.
It would be interesting to see a control experiment, where you sort nouns from verbs and pictures of people from pictures of flowers, or something.

"Implicit Association Tests" clearly means "keyboard speed test". I gave up before it could tell me anything, I suspect they want to know things like "you keep shooting black people" or something - except they could only actually know that about me *if their test was possible for me to operate*, half the time it said "please be faster" before I had even *registered that there was a person there*, often I thought "shoot" and then pressed the wrong key!

So I learned... my reactions suck.

*And this was despite the tests giving the answer in the correct direction.*
