Quicker to shoot: Black People? or White People?

Here’s an interesting pysch test you can take to help answer, do you have any racial bias (and how much)? The test records and compares your reaction times when posed with pictures of Black and White men holding either cell phones or hand guns. You have the option to either holster your weapon or use it based on what the person is holding. If you’re like me you won’t be surprised that your reaction time is faster when responding to images of white guys but it’s still a very interesting study and test. The test is available here. Another set of similar tests can be found here.

An article discussing all this can be found here.
