I think my next post will be in regards to the actual test, but I stumbled upon this 2005 article in the Washington Post first. It is surprisingly long, but starts out talking about the Harvard study that I think some one referenced in class the other day. It is a very simple way of determining bias in people - and most people are bias!
Can any one find this test?
Here's the article. It's a very interesting read.

Let me know what your thoughts are on it.
Are there flaws with the test?
Should it be done with black faces and positive words first, then flip flop to white faces and positive words?
Would this even make a difference?
