IAT 

IAT is the Implicit Association Test from Harvard mentioned by Binna Kandola in his video on Unconscious Bias. I took the weight text. This test requires the ability to distinguish faces of people who are obese and people who are thin. It often reveals an automatic preference for thin people relative to fat people. I actually took this test as I thought I may be biased towards fat people as I always receive a lot of comments on my weight and that makes me relate more to how they feel about themselves and I always care about them more to make them feel confident. Surprizingly The text told me that I am not biased to a certain type of people nor thin niether fat, that made me realize that I may just be effected with how I am dealing with all the comments on my weight so I feel they are facing them but at the end I do not prefer them more than thin people.
