Project Implicit: Presidential Candidates Task
It is well known that people don’t always ‘speak their minds’, and it is suspected that people don’t always ‘know their minds’. Understanding such divergences is important to scientific psychology. This web site presents a method that demonstrates the conscious-unconscious divergences much more convincingly than has been possible with previous methods. This new method is called the Implicit Association Test, or IAT for short.
I am aware of the possibility of encountering interpretations of my IAT performance with which I may not agree. Knowing this, I wish to proceed with the Presidential Candidates task.

my results were spot on.
mine wasn’t, but then I am on the fence about a number of things.
do you mind sharing how yours came out?
I had obama at the very top, clinton in the top third, mccain and huckabee near the top of the bottom half.
not at all.
I had Clinton on near very top, then mccain, huckabee and then obama grouped closely in the middle.
I am not sure if I’d vote democrat but I certainly won’t vote clinton. I learned my lesson, two relatives in office in close succession is not a good idea.
I couldn’t get past the screen where I had to give information about myself.
Even though I answered I’d vote clinton, and that I did in the primary, my score showed Obama way above everyone else and clinton was almost halfway down, just above huck and mac, who, interestingly, were on a par.
