Recently for my issues in modern America I took a hidden bias test. This test was supposed to tell if you were biased for the opposite race or for your own race. I found this test itself to completely biased in my opinon. While taking the test the whole thing was based off time more than accuracy. The format of the test was comfusing enough to cause a gap time between when they would change the format to see if you would get the same speed for the same words and questions. The results were predictable and caused the participant to be seen as prefering the inital race inquestion. I really don't think there is a way for this test to be done without even some bias for the formating of the test. But from other tests I've taken in school about this topic this was the best one so far.
