I choose 2 test to take the first one was (‘Religions’ IAT) Which was basically questions asked related to how I associate Jews, Christians and Muslims and if there is a correlation between them, whether I see them as good or bad. My results show cased that I’m biased towards muslims and that I prefer them more than jews specifically, even towards christians. When refelcting on that im thinking between myself if I’m actually that person, but what is ironic that I would always say that I can never be biased towards a person if I don’t know him, but the tests show opposite then this. Thinking to myself yes I may be biased specifically towers jews even if I know that not all of them are Palestinians, but its just part of how I was raised and taught in my country and culutre we are always raised to hate them because they are taking our land and killing our brothers and sisters, even if not all jews are Israelis, but when you see them or listen to them you always get frustrated. Maybe I’m more comfortable being around people that are more like me or have the same elision and values because there is a belief within me that they would always understand me and communication would be easier with them.

These outcomes that I mentioned can also be proved by the other test I took which is (‘Arab Muslim – Other People’ IAT) which had the same questions as the other game, but including nationalities and Christianity names biases. And what was also common was that I prefer Arab muslims than other people or other nationalties. Meaning that I prefer them in s group outing or events I would also again also go to them. This can easily be because of my upbringing was all around Arabs and muslims even my school I didn’t have any other religion upbringings then muslims, so it was always something weird for me or different to communicate with people who aren’t similar then me. The older I became the more I was aware that people can be different and everyone needs to communicate and respect each others with different identities and these understanding came to me when I traveled a lot and met international students in universities or conferences even at work everyone is not similar to the other person therefore every one should always be okay to respect one another even if we have different beliefs, opinions and identities.

To look into how this test is credible or not the American psychological association proves that only taking this test 1 or 2 times doesn’t validate its accuracy and not all of the questions asked  are related to discrimination or biased towards some people, there it shouldn’t always be guaranteed 100% and actions are the only guarantee in these situations.
