[1]slight_preference_to_young-vs-oldImplicit Association Test.*
  Do I show an [2]#ageism ? [unconscious preference for older vs
  younger ppl, younger vs older ppl, or am I right in the middle]?
  Well, I'm ok with these results.* I'd like to reach a point
  where I take this test and I am at "Little or no automatic
  preference", but honestly, considering 64% of the thousands of
  test takers (it's over 9000! - no, literally, over 9000 people
  make up those percentages!) - have a moderate or strong
  automatic preference for Young people compared to Old people,
  I'd say my slight is ok. Still though, I am a strong believer
  that Age Discrimination is a bad thing.* Knowing where I am now,
  I can take steps to squeak my score down into the Little or No
  Preference category by trying to understand "what it is" that's
  keeping me from being entirely Neutral. Am I a little afraid of
  getting older?* Did those faces of the elderly shown in the quiz
  frighten me just the tiniest little bit?* I don't know,
  honestly. I'm ok with "beating" 64% of the population, but I'd
  like to be able to take it again in 3 months, 6 months, or a
  year, and be right in the middle.* [and then I can "beat" 80% of
  the population in the typical department.* I'm not even close to
  the average (which seems to be strong preference) but apparently
  I'm very slightly typical.* Just a little. But even if my
  results didn't change in the future, I'd be ok with it.
