Now I'm re-thinking the reason 'WHY-I thought this was a GOOD IDEA'!!! I took it and the method of the TESTING was what made me curious --- it's a frustrating endeavor to 'DO THE RIGHT THING' on that IAT exam! I was just wondering how others FELT ABOUT TAKING IT! Leigh stated >>> I took the test...It was my first time...I went as fast as I could or very fast ...My test results were as follows: Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for European American compared to African American. Only 4% of test takers score in the moderate range which I find very sad... The test IMHO is absolute bullchit and would not ever be capable of garnering an accurate response from any person of any race....I can easily see why there is so much controversy attached to the question of WHAT the IAT is actually measuring...I do, however, agree that continuing research is valid and necessary because racism of any kind from any group is a negative... See...my frustration with the 'METHOD' of this IAT testing was...well so infuriating I only took it once and scored 'mid range' pro European American; but the number of 'FORCED CHANGES' with those blasted X's made me wonder if --- that wasn't what they were actually measuring! As in how many of those you accumulated vs the attempt to mark what the test wanted/forced you to chose? Follow what I'm saying? They were measuring automatic response and the test was TIMED...In other words, they did not want you to think, just react...Knowing that the test is a measure of racial preference going in would be a huge advantage to those who were shooting for a certain response...Also, the results of people with dyslexia, slow reaction time, suffering from lack of sleep or low blood sugar, and a myriad of other human 'conditions' could be skewed too...Again, I feel the test is total BS and I would not want to work for anyone who used it as part of their hiring process, nor would I have confidence in anyone who took the results as a accurate measurement of racial prejudice... |

why do i feel strange....

Coming from a dudes perspective, I never want to meet a chick's kid(s) until she and I have dated for a bit. Then her kids can meet me, fall in love with me, and ask Daddy Goof to buy them toys and chit. This is why I don't date around the holidays. Kids and gifts....little brats be wanting stuff. I ain't Santa. Such a charmer.... |

RC I understand where he is coming from.Years ago when I met my Ex we dated for awhile and then I met her daughter, I saw how sweet she was around her daughter and how good a mother she was and it made me want her even more.I think you should take it as a compliment the fact that he wants the total package and not only wants to come around when you can get a babysitter. I joined this thread later in and saw where you have not met him yet, well I still think he is giving you a compliment but you are right to keep a open eye on your family its natural. ((((Chuck))))...Nice post and I agree, I think he was paying Carebear a compliment...Plus, as one mom to another, it goes without saying that she will meet him first and DECIDE from that point on when she will introduce him to her children... |
