text: Unusually, Margaret, you are behind the times on this research. Yes, Implicit Association Tests are considered accurate. But if you try to see if this affects real-world decisions of those studied; the answer is not at all. NOT AT ALL, for those not listening. In other words, the IAT is an interesting tool that helps us identify the race of a subject (or other parameter if you design the test that way) but it doesn't show how test-takers behave in the real world.  It seems there is no correlation between IAT results and real-world behaviour.  All it seems to mean is that anyone taking the test recognises 'others' in the most basic sense (which may be hard-wired into their brains by evolution) but when faced with real-world challenges they easily overcome that and don't discriminate.
  Even you, Margaret, have hard-wired biases. But you can easily overcome them with learned common sense and fairness. Thinking overcomes inbuilt bias. That's reality, but might not make an article.
