Jake Jolley - Bias Test Response- Week 3

HIDDEN BIAS TEST RESPONSE.
• After reading the article I found myself quite intrigued under the points of bias and prejudice absorbed at a young age.  Considering that bias can be formed as young as 3 years old, and can be instilled through not only parents but instructors as well.
• I found myself somewhat excited to take a few of these hidden bias exams, yet at the outcome I found myself a bit disappointed. While I do see their idea and understand the method used, it does not seem accurate in all cases. The test requires you to link items to 2 keys on the keyboard at a high speed. YET this test begins moving keys and links mid way, forcing the users to change their link to keys, which in term, in my case led to constant confusion, therefore creating a lag, therefore leading to a skewed result.
• In my beliefs, a strong hidden bias can affect someones artistic practice on an underlining level by not only affecting the style of the piece but through giving a piece attributes that others could conceive in their own ways, therefore forming bias in others.

From what the article had stated that was not the truth. It was merely one persons  interpretation of what a bracero was, b...
