Marka Ragnos Posted February 12 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12 (edited) Fun self-test time! Been reading a bit of Adorno, etc. and ran into this: Quote Seventy years ago, the Authoritarian Personality studies attempted to "construct an instrument that would yield an estimate of fascist receptivity at the personality level." This interactive F Scale presents that instrument in its final form of thirty questions, computing your aggregate "F Score" and subscores for the nine personality variables the F Scale tries to measure. Additional infomation, including the scoring scheme and an explanation of the personality variables, is given below after the questionnaire. So take the F Scale now --- or else! I was rated a liberal airhead. I guess that's good. It's American-oriented, this rendering of the F Scale.

Chindie Posted February 12 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12 If you get more than liberal airhead on that test you're a psychopath who should be on a watchlist. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The questions do seem heavily loaded and exclude all nuance, which seems to guatantee that the vast majority of people will enjoy a trip into smug mode. It would be far more interesting to have a questionaire which tested for authoritarian attitudes, which both ends of the spectrum might find appealing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was put together immediately following the second World War, so it’s a little dated, for sure. It would be interesting to see a new version of it if there there’s one out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test was just about more nuanced than say "You believe that Jews are not people". Couple of questions on there made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
