I've seen a few articles questioning the usefulness of that test, though -- apparently, a lot of scientists now think that all it's actually testing is what's most familiar to you, rather than any unconscious biases. (I took a bunch of them, and the one that ended up the strongest was a bias toward Jewish symbols and against Christian ones. And I'm sure that a significant part of that was that I recognized the Jewish symbols instantly, while I had to kind of ::squint:: ::tilt head:: "Is that a communion wafer?" for a lot of the Christian ones.)
