I had a strong automatic preference for female-science association. I
took the test twice (one in the reverse order of the other), and both
came out the same way.

I did the same, with music especially. I kept putting engineering on the
female side, it was the one I had the most trouble with. I got the big
red "X" a lot with the science words.
I found the word-association was more difficult than the face
orientation. For my other IAT's, I had a slight preference for old over
young (4% of 4000 were in my boat) and no preference for black over
white (13% of 6000). I took each one twice (the reverse order thing) and
they all came out the same both times.
Well, my parents will be glad to know I have no stereotypical
associations ;o)
