For the implicit Bias test that I took is the age bias test. The results from the specific test was “Your responses suggested a moderate automatic preference for Old people over Young people.” I am not sure how I felt about it because I got a 30% and 30% for the old people compared to the young people. I had a 17% for the slightly automatic young people compared to old people. The information that I gathered are interesting. Some of the words sound about the same between the “slightly automatic” and the “moderate automatic.”

I personally answered all of these questions truthfully and I do believe that I have no implicit bias towards anybody especially when it comes to age. I think that people have a bias when it comes to age because of the capability that different age groups can have. When it comes to hard work and a lot of computer and technological work, businesses might prefer to work with younger people because of their knowledge and capability to learn about new technology in the business. People might want older people for phone answering because they know how to do that. Workers are just leaning more towards younger people, but I think if you learn quickly than anyone can do a job. I had a 1% of an automatic preference for old people to young people, which I think can be accurate.

I have taken other implicit bias tests before and I will say I had a split down the middle when it came to the topics that I selected.
