According to The Implicit Association Test I have:

- A strong association of Male with Science and Female with Liberal Arts compared to Female with Science and Male with Liberal Arts.
- A moderate automatic preference for Abraham Lincoln compared to George W. Bush.
- A moderate association of Male with Career and Female with Family compared to Female with Career and Male with Family.
- A strong automatic preference for Straight People compared to Gay People.
- A strong automatic preference for Light Skin compared to Dark Skin.
- A slight association of African Americans with Harmless Objects and European Americans with Weapons compared to European Americans with Harmless Objects and African Americans with Weapons.
- A slight association of Asian American with American and European American with Foreign compared to European American with American and Asian American with Foreign.
- A moderate association of Native American with Foreign and White American with American compared to White American with Foreign and Native American with American.
- A moderate automatic preference for Abled Persons compared to Disabled Persons.
- A slight automatic preference for Judaism compared to Other Religions.
- A slight automatic preference for Fat People compared to Thin People.
- A moderate automatic preference for Other People compared to Arab Muslims.
- Too many errors to determine a result for my preference of White compared to Black.

I have a few problems with the way the tests were set up. But I won't argue too much with the results. Some of them surprised me and I don't agree with. But most of them were right on. Plus, I've taken the race one like 10 times, and every time it told me too many errors to determine a result

I don't like the IAT... for circular reasoning more than anything...

I've taken the specific tests several times, and each time got what I wanted to get. I don't think they can control for that... so they address it by correlating it with a questionnaire that also derives from a person's perceived (instead of real) thoughts... brilliant!
