Subject: RE: BS: Unconscious prejudices - Harvard study
It made me giggle I'm afraid. I was asked to evaluate Money and Furniture!!. Questions such as "I like the smell of money" Chance would be a fine thing, I don't get near enough to my money to sniff it before it's spent. It decided at the end that I'm moderately biased in favour of furniture. (Mmm, a secret penchant for sofas eh?) Also, it decided that MY choices were wrong. If I pressed 'Good' for example, a large red cross appeared, as the survey judged it Wrong. It wanted me to press Bad. I'm worried now, I must be prejudiced in favour of tables and chairs, and there was me thinking I had no bias! Seriously though, it asked me to click on my income amount, but their choices were in dollars. I didn't have time to convert it all to pounds sterling. There ARE other currencies in the world other than the dollar!!
