Jung and Riklin's procedure at the Burghölzli: one word at a time, you say the first word that comes, and the page records how long it took. It prints the slow ones and says nothing about what they mean, because the century since has not established what they mean.
The run
ready
Say the first word that comes into your head, out loud, then type it and press enter.
A hundred words, about ten minutes. There is no score at the end.
The slow ones
Runs
The honest limit, stated first. The test measures something, and the century has not settled what. Response time is driven by how common the word is, how easy it is to picture, how tired you are and how much you care, as much as by anything the word touches in you. Nobody has validated the scoring of complex indicators against an outside criterion at a useful accuracy. Its most successful descendant is the polygraph, which is inadmissible in most American courts; its academic descendant, the implicit association test, has test retest reliability too weak to say much about any one person. So this page does the procedure honestly and stops where the record stops: it shows you which words took longest, and it does not tell you what a long one means. That is the season's ending, made into an interface. The interesting thing is what you notice yourself when you see the list, and that noticing is yours, not the instrument's.
