Cenydd presented a fun test so I searched and found a whole bunch of tests from Harvard that measure implicit prejudice by individuals. Since there are numerous tests addressing different forms of prejudice I only had time to take one based upon my personal interests in racial prejudice so it was the "Race AIT" test.
This result is not surprising to me at all as I have always admitted that I have racial prejudice that I work constantly to overcome. This test only measures "implicit" prejudice which is a predisposition as opposed to "explicit" prejudice relates to how our prejudice manifests itself in our actions.
For those that want to find out about their different prejudices here's the link to the website. I found the one test I took to be extremely good because it demands an immediate response as opposed to allowing the person to think about their answers before responding.

Have fun and maybe just learn something about yourself that you didn't know.
Your Result
Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for European American compared to African American.
