Do the Weapons and Sexuality IATs and post your results in the thread.
For the Weapons test, my results suggest a moderate association of Black Americans with Weapons compared to White Americans.
For the Sexuality test, my results suggest a strong automatic preference for Gay People compared to Straight People.

It's bullshit though because for the first half of the test, it had me associating gay on the same side as bad a straight on the same side as good, and it was tough to adjust. I knew I was going to get that result as I was doing it.

I first tried a different test and that first test really didn't give me a decent answer because I got too used to the first half of the sorting that swapping made the second half much more difficult. So I redid it and got a totally opposite result. Even then, I somewhat doubt the tests can accurately reflect much of anything with possible bias leaning either toward being used to the first half of sorting (first half easier), being used to keywords/pictures in the bank as the test proceeds further (second half easier), or expecting the swap (second half easier).

The test is repeated twice for both items, so I don't think it's completely bunk.

I did this test twice and got opposite results.  The difference between the tests was the initial pairing of Good and Gay.

Eh...
