Harvard Implicit Association Test

The Harvard University Project Implicit provides several tests designed to measure the user's preferences for particular asociations, which can indicate implicit bias in decision-making.  The following tests are best suited for understanding implicit bias in academic settings.

  • Gender-Science IAT
