Part II. Reflect on Your Test Results
What did your test results show: do you have an implicit racial bias? How were biases measured, according to the test interpretation page? What do you think of this measure? Were your test results what you expected or hoping for? Do they match your stated racial beliefs?

Now read the readings for class on implicit bias. Using the readings from class, explain your test results and what they mean.
