What is your implicit bias toward major religions?

OK, I took the thing again.

Taken an hour apart, it now appears I like Islam and Judaism the best, followed by Christianity, with Buddhism at the bottom.

So now I’m completely skeptical.

I think the test measures something, but I’m not sure what. I also imagine that if you take many of these tests, it might be possible to avoid “bias” by just getting better at the game. So, in my case, I was wondering if I wasn’t trying harder not to be biased when the Islam words came up.

But what I mostly wonder is: how could it be proven true or false that these kinds of associations correspond to something that may be usefully called implicit bias?
