The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is designed to uncover hidden or unconscious biases, which are forms of covert prejudice. It measures the strength of associations between concepts (e.g., black people, gay people) and evaluations (e.g., good, bad) or stereotypes (e.g., athletic, clumsy), revealing attitudes that individuals may be unaware of or unwilling to report.
