When I associate a word or image as "bad" does it mean that I think the word or image is bad, or that I know the correct answer to the question is "bad"? Similarly, my grouping of "bad" words and images together speaks to what, precisely...or am I just trying to hit the right key, between a staggering two options?
If I misidentify after an input reversal (hit i instead of e), does that indicate bias, or patterned behavior that was set in the previous section? Mind you, I'm positively -certain- that I'm a nervous ball of biases.......but.....?
My husband says the algorithm is designed to take into account the prior training it gives you, which is why its there in the first place, and switches locations of answers more than once. It also accounts for the speed of response, which is actually where it grabs most of the info. I only got 2 answers "wrong" for instance, but still scored a strong bias because I was slow.
I scored a lower bias on the tests where I was faster, meaning I didn't have a strong correlation to consciously break to get the "right" answer.
