While testing I noticed my mind sorting things in a two step process.  First: word or picture.  Then young/old or good/bad as appropriate.

These are sorting drills, not psycological examinations.  They test the logic and sorting function of your brain - not the true emotional response to images.

I found myself comparing this test to the coding drills on the ASVAB.  The coding drills were a more effective study of the mind.  It could have tested my prejudice toward young and old people better by asking me "Would you want to talk to this person?" and giving me a 1-10 scale every time a picture popped up.

The most effective test I've seen for gut reaction emotional responses is the test where you have pictures of folks holding everyday items and weapons.  In poorly lit conditions or, for many participants, if the subject was African-American more people thought everyday objects were threatening weapons.

Try to kill somebody often enough and they develop this strange aversion to anything that might be a weapon. Go figure!
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.

"Isn't this where...."
