I went to a conference today to give a presentation, for which I got... wait for it... a chopping board and a CD of Christmas carols. Not that neither present is appreciated, but they were kind of random even as far as speakers' gifts tend to go.
Someone at the conference was talking about the implicit predjudices we build up which give us negative impressions of other people. He pointed us all to the Implicit Association Test designed by Harvard and a couple of other universities to unveil some of those biases. It's not very accessible, but if you have some vision then the tests should be okay.
So far I've done three of the IATs, including:
Able-Disabled: Slight bias towards able bodied people
Sexual Preference: Neutral
Light Skin-Dark Skin: Moderate bias towards light skin
Don't know how accurate they've been able to make this, but it's really interesting nonetheless.
