i've always been volatile but as i walk through life i've also learned to keep my attention intact, so that balances my character and the choices i make.
people who say they speak their minds really don't and usually don't know their minds. to quote the Implicit Association Test (IAT) Group, "understanding such divergence is important to scientific psychology."
the test only requires that you focus, to answer a brief questionnaire and an IAT as quickly as possible. are you as "colour blind" as you think you are? are you sure you don't prefer whites over blacks? Race IAT is one of the multiple selections on the website.
You don't choose to make positive associations with the dominant group... But you are required to. All around you, that group is being paired with good things. You open the newspaper and you turn on the television, and you can't escape it.
