Weekly Discussion 1
Reality Construct
Each individual observes the world through their own perceptions. Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaboration between researchers who are interested in implicit social cognition – thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. Their website has a series of test that are available to test your social attitudes.

First, take two of the Harvard Project Implicit (Links to an external site.) tests by going to the website then continue as a “guest.” After taking two of the tests, read through the material under the “Education” tab.

- Describe your results for each test.
