The implication is that by changing the word/picture associations at each level, they will eventually trick you into revealing that you are racist, as you mistakenly associate the negative words to the race which you are allegedly prejudice against. Wouldn't it be just as likely that people would click because they simply mixed up which side of the screen the association was supposed to go on? Such a mistake could also be attributed to a lack of attention or even clumsiness. It seems like the test takes a huge leap of logic by automatically associating the mistakes with racism. Twice throughout the test I mistakenly clicked the wrong side for a negative word association. Once it was with an African American portrait and once it was with a European American portrait. One would think that this would even things out, but the test determined that I'm a racist because I got blue and red mixed up.
As I said, it's utterly ridiculous.
