click on “I wish to proceed”

Then, take at least two of the tests from the following choices:

Age IAT

Sexuality IAT

Disability IAT

Arab-Muslim IAT

Asian IAT

Native IAT

Skin-tone IAT

Race IAT

Religion IAT

Weapons IAT

Weight IAT

I strongly encourage you to take the tests in areas where you anticipate you might have challenges as a social worker or a professional in any setting. For example, if your religion or political affiliation has strong views about a particular group, please take that test. Or if you are uncomfortable around elderly persons, take that test. This is meant to be an introspective learning exercise and you will only get the most out of it if you are honest with yourself and challenge yourself to see beyond your assumptions and beliefs.

Then, go to the Project Implicit Discussion in the discussions part of Canvas and submit a reflection of this experience. This reflection should be one page in length, single-spaced. Do not attach your reflection. Paste it directly into the discussion box.
