everything about that test is prejudiced... the pretext (which i blame for my slow reaction times and low score); the way the guns or other objects are held (differently i would say depending on the subjects race).. the whole test was set up to prove that you were more prone to shoot black people... however in my reluctance to appear racist I became ineffective and slower.

I probably would do better the second time, it took a while to learn the difference between the z and the / key

I shot them all. :lol:

The difference is the normal fluctuation in reaction time, not due to color.

I shot the white guys quicker lol. Although i think i was taking longer over the balck guys subconciously so I would show up as not racist.

Only ones I didn't get were a couple of the unarmed civilians who I was to slow with. I shot everybody accept for the innocents.

I hate everyone. And just because they don't have a gun doesn't mean they don't have a weapon!

I am very racist towards fat people. If they are even a race.

I shot a lot of innocents, and got shot a lot. I'd say I didn't do too badly though.

I completely agree with that. I wasn't even looking at their color, just trying to find the gun/phone as quickly as possible as it kept moving all around.

I believe my right finger is faster than my left finger, and I know the paths the data has to flow are different based upon the key, so some key's might actually be "faster" than other keys....

I believe the test is a complete setup. If it's not, then it is just a horribly created test that is so flawed the results are meaningless.

If i had to guess, the more that your worried about how you score on what appears to be a video game test, says as much or more about what those scores mean that what you scored in and of itself.

I get shot a lot.

probably the most interesting thing is that it takes me too long to assume that the black unarmed is in fact unarmed.

This is what I got my first time. I find this game completely unrealistic though. If I was in a situation where I believed someone nearby had a gun with the intention to shoot and I saw someone holding something in their hand, I'd just shoot.

I sure hope that you aren't a cop. It would really suck if you were a cop. Oh, and never own an handgun... that would suck too.
