"an unproven assessment tool"

There's one on the Internet which tests your response time to a series of photos and statements. A split-second variation in response time to certain questions is taken as proof of racism.

If I recall, an example would be that you are shown a series of pictures of people of different ethnicities, and asked whether they look like Americans. If your response time to a black person is 1/10th of a second longer than your response time to a white person, you are a racist. Or something like that. To me, the explanation might just as well be that some people take longer to evaluate information, or are more careful in evaluating it, and consider various options rather than responding impulsively.
