I have always found the IAT interesting. I remember last semester I showed my Introduction to Psychology class a video on this (it was a Scientific American Frontiers clip), and many of my students were very interested in it and wanted to learn more about it. Some of my students told me that they took the test outside of class and were very interested in the results. It seemed to make them more aware of the difference between conscious and unconscious thoughts, so I am glad that this test is available for use on the internet.
