I recently took a series of implicit bias tests for this course and was both surprised and unsurprised with my results. On the first test I took, the “Weapons” test, my results showed a moderate automatic association for Harmless objects with White Americans and Weapons with Black Americans. This test’s design initially struck me as odd as the weapons they choose to use were atypical of my understanding of violent crimes. Showing cannons and flails were not the typical weapons I would picture…

How would people act if drug testing becomes a requirement in order to receive Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT)? Would they be furious with the process?

ACT and SAT are standardized test, which are taking by high schooler’s as a requirement for college acceptance. Chiefly, the testing evaluates the primary subjects, including math, science, reading and writing. However, the testing material is fashioned by the financially-driven testing business, that is a multi-billion-dollar industry.

Anyone can look at data, but to actually use it to improve anything, that person must understand what he or she is reviewing. To understand the data, determining “what additional information is necessary to understand student performance” (IRIS Center for Training Enhancements, 2014, pg. 2) is key. Also, in reviewing the data, it is important to understand the students who are taking the test and what disabilities…

However, can a test be both valid and invalid in itself? Is it possible for the test to positively display…
