1. Based upon my results, I had no strong reaction to it. I already knew that I felt that way, mostly because of the society that I grew up in, and the people I have had more relations with. On the presidential IAT I felt that it also reflected the society, that between Nixon and Obama, there is more negativity towards Nixon because of Watergate.
2. I believe that I should not pay much attention to my results, because they were based more upon my unconscious thoughts than how I actually think or believe.
3. I do not think that the tests are entirely valid, because I got used to associating, for example, the i key with light skinned people first, then it was hard to shake that when later the i key was used for dark skinned people and good words. The test then implied that I was associating the lighter skinned person with good words as opposed to it just being muscle memory.
