Sold as measuring prejudice? Or as demonstrating existence of subconscious prejudice (even when not consciously/explicitly prejudiced)?

Sold monetized marketed *as* predicting degree of bias? Or showing *existence* of (subconscious) bias? Legit question. Are you asserting it’s the former not the latter?
