Both of the tests could tell your mind

                In this article I would like to share my results of The Implicit Association Test and The Political Compass Test. So, we can share the opinion about this together. Moreover, you can go to do a test in this website:

https://www.politicalcompass.org/test

        The Implicit Association Test is the way that you could know your bias which you never know before. It is a flexible task designed to tap automatic associations between concepts and attributes. For example, math and arts, good or bad, male or female, self or other.

         Moreover, The Political Compass Test is the way that you could understand your attitude on politic. The Political Compass Test is a multi-axis political model, used by the website of the same name, to label or organize political thought on two dimensions. The test also includes an explanation of the two-axis system they use, a few charts which place various past and present political figures according to their estimation, and reading list for each of the main political orientations.

                  First, I would like to talk about the Implicit Association Test (the IAT). At the beginning of this study, I read a few facts about two men. Brian was described as honest but unfriendly, and Kevin was described as friendly but dishonest.

                 My result is my data suggest moderate automatic preference for Brian over Kevin.

Most people report a preference for honest people over friendly people. The testing whether people will show a similar automatic preference for the honest man over the friendly man.

                 In my opinion, for my result might be different than the attitude that I have been. Maybe, I might consciously prefer Kevin over Brian, but show automatic preference for Brian over Kevin. I never compare people who are honest and friendly. So, I think the result might be change if I do a test again for next time. In addition, due to my environmental that it would be a reason why I’m received an honest. 

                       The second test is The Political Compass Test. I received results that placed me in the extreme Libertarian Left. Which is stress both individual freedom and social justice.

                      If I connect my ideology to my biases. It seem as though the best connection. Because the left-wing politics are political position or activities that accept or support social equality. It sound seem to be honest.

1st discussion post

For talking about the news on last Saturday we have been selecting the news form the internet. In our group we have three people Sin, Bui and me.

Bui chooses the news from somewhere (that I could not remember the name of website because of my brain is so error). Furthermore I still remember the topic (because I write it down on my notebook). The topic is about US drops Cuba from terror blacklist in landmark move. Bui said “In the news they also point out about U.S President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro”. Bui also explain that “Cuba has vehemently protested its 1982 inclusion on the blacklist and nowadays the United States dropped Cuba from its blacklist of state sponsors of terrorism”. We discuss that it is will be good news for the global. 

Moreover, Sin chooses the news about the gunman who was shooting people in the public area. This issue is happen in many years ago in USA. However, it still being in court because the doctor had said the gunman had symptoms of his psychosis. So, maybe he is not wrong. We three had a comment for this serious case that makes a scarier society.
