Revealing Your Unconscious: Part 1: Would you consider yourself to be prejudiced against people who are different from you? Most of us would say no. But in the late 1990s, researchers created a test to measure biases that may be hidden from our conscious minds.

We ask how is it that we can hold negative stereotypes — without being aware of them. by Hidden Brain
