I thought that the implicit bias test had been debunked years ago..

I can tell your upset Jordan. Why don’t you just start your own university? Not joking, I’m serious.

I love this

Briggs-myer, Maslows heirarchy. Any other widely taught psychology pseudoscience that should be called out as well?

The IAT measures something but there is little evidence it is actually bias. Some people think the test actually measures familiarity. This hasn’t stopped the broad application of the test under the assumption that it measures prejudice. Even the creator admitted as much.

Becarefull Dr. JP, don't get too upset.

Unfortunately, many Intro to Psych professors still believe in its power and assign it to students, not to explore or challenge, but to understand as valid and with the potential to be prescriptive. Whatever it reveals, it does not capture how people actually behave.

It’s similar to the over application of micro-expressions. Sure micro-expressions are a thing, but we have given there application more weight then we should have. Just because a person expresses something doesn’t mean we understand what that really means.
