Project Implicit: Uncovering Hidden Bias

Psychologists at Harvard, the University of Virginia and the University of Washington created "Project Implicit" to educate the public about hidden biases and to provide a “virtual laboratory” for collecting data on the Internet.  “Hidden Bias Tests” can measure unconscious, or automatic, biases known as implicit social cognition – thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control.

A  willingness to examine one’s own possible biases is an important step in understanding the roots of stereotypes and prejudice in our society. The tests cover race and many other topics.
