The IAT (Implicit Association Test) is specifically designed to measure implicit biases, which are biases that are unconsciously held and often operate beyond conscious control. The test measures response times and errors when participants are asked to make associations between different target concepts and positive or negative evaluations. This provides an indication of implicit biases that may not be evident through self-reported explicit biases or overt behaviors.
