this isn't a really fair test... some of the pictures were just hard to tell what they were holding... especially with how they were posing..

the first time I tried it I messed up right off the bat trying to move my mouse cursor off the pictures, so I restarted it and tried to only focus on the hands and the objects in ithem, I did not mess up once. The reaction times are interesting considering I was only looking at hands.

Technically everything should be equal as my key presses were all the same...but they're not and therefore this test is BS and totally pointless as it proves nothing. :roll: I'd like to test it out with an auto key presser but at this moment I cba

I don't trust the methodology. I love how the writer of the article says "gee whizz guess I'm a racist" without even questioning the validity of the experiment, how controlled the MANY other variables are, the correct conclusion to draw from the data, and if the sample size is big enough to draw a significant conclusion given the other variables involved. Not only does he not sound surprised that he would shoot black people quicker than white people, he shows a complete lack of faith in his values as a human being.

I reject this test without a full explanation of how it was developed and how it overcomes bias and the MANY other factors involved in evaluating threats.

qft!

yeah I dont trust the results much as far as the black white thing, the only thing I took from it was the ability to correctly identify the gun and weather to shoot or not, which I had no problem doing.
