Who Do You (Really) Love

Think you know which presidential candidate makes you feel all warm inside?  Might there be some subconscious feelings of negativity toward a candidate?  The website link below seeks to use word association technology to determine how truly feel about the major candidates.
 
The instructions are a bit complicated, so I will try to explain a bit - the program will take you through 14 blocks of exercises.  Each block will focus on a particular candidate.  When you are in the Barack block, you a series of pictures of candidates and you'll hit the "yes" button if Barack's face comes up OR if a positive word (e.g., "love," "pleasant," "friend") appears on the screen.  Different faces will be coming up, pictures of Barack and other candidates from various angles.  Various positive and negative words will appear to throw you off.  At the end, the program will tell you which candidates you have the strongest association with.  If you want to know my test results, e-mail me after you've taken it and I'll let you know!
