The Implict Associations Test is a test that takes someone 's beliefs and attitude into account in order to find out their true thoughts on specific topics (e.g. Gender, skintone, sexuality and so on), whether the person is aware of these thoughts or not. This test tests the unconcious mind of the people who take it. The researchers of this test are N.Sriram, Brian Nosek, Mahzarin Banaji and Tony Greenwald.

The consistency is portrayed within the prediction of social behaviours. Its stated that the “implicit measures of attitudes are especially predictive”, (Dovidio, 1997) revealing the idea of the IAT having a good re-test reliability as each result is consistent. Steffens and Buchner also state the consistency is “very high” which further supports the IAT’s reliability. Overall, IAT’s reliability has made the test become a “widely used instrument” (McConnell and Leibold, 2001) to measure implicit bias which makes the test a finer of measuring bias.

    When I was young, I never thought that I would want to have anything to do with a STEM career. I always thought that it wasn’t something that women did, and therefore I couldn’t do it. It wasn’t until I was in high school started learning more about science and hearing encouragement from my teachers that I realized that pursuing a career in science would be possible. Just like how Chimamanda Adichie says in her Ted Talk, “The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.”

Female students are afraid of selecting a STEM major as their future career, because their science teachers indicate that they cannot get the same successful academic achievement in this field as men
