Following up on my post Monday about a Heritage Foundation panel discussion on Thursday this week, here’s the link to the paper that Althea Nagai will be discussing at the event, “The Implicit Association Test: Flawed Science Tricks Americans into Believing They Are Unconscious Racists.” Its concluding paragraph:

Given the high probability of errors associated with the IAT, it should not be incorporated into public policies, such as hiring and university admissions, housing, banking, and government contracting, by law enforcement, in lawsuits, or in jury selection. Although it has been hailed by the media as uncovering a dark, secret side of the American psyche, numerous critics of the IAT have demonstrated that it simply cannot predict how test takers will act in the real world. The test fails to prove that we are a nation of unconscious racists.
