People often keep their thoughts hidden for various reasons. One explanation is their reluctance to be open about certain aspects. For example, someone might claim to consume only one candy bar per day because they feel embarrassed to admit they actually have two. Alternatively, they may not even be aware of their true behavior. A person who smokes might genuinely believe that they smoke only one pack per day, or they might not keep track of their smoking habits. The distinction between reluctance and incapacity lies in the difference between consciously concealing something from others and unknowingly hiding it from oneself.
The Occupational Gender Implicit Association Test (OGIAT) is designed to measure undisclosed beliefs and attitudes. The OGIAT may be particularly intriguing if it reveals an implicit attitude you were unaware of. You may believe, for instance, that women and men should be equally associated with science, but your automatic associations may reveal that you (like many others) associate men with science more than women.Â
We hope that participating in the test has provided you with valuable insights. Please note that the website is still in development, as the project is ongoing. We will regularly update the information to reflect our current understanding of the hidden origins of thoughts and emotions
