Right-wing authoritarianism test

No surprise, what I scored.

Quote:

Your answers suggest that you do not have any indication of right-wing authoritarianism. You do not want society to be structured in ways that decrease diversity and increase uniformity; you do not favor political initiatives which would mandate that everybody live according to religious social norms and traditional values; and you are strongly against coercion, free speech limitations, and state-enforced regulations of individual morality.

Only 12 questions, btw

I don't really agree with the score or summary, I certainly don't agree with making traditional or religious values mandatory (the polar opposite in fact), I think the only reason my score is so high is the questions relating to patriotism, but for what it's worth:

41 %

"Your answers suggest an average degree of right-wing authoritarianism. You are moderately in favor of the state structuring society in ways that decrease diversity and increase uniformity. You are somewhat inclined to agree with initiatives that would make religious social norms and traditional values mandatory, as well able to see the value in some restrictions on free speech and other civil liberties."

I figured as much. I don’t know how mandating ten million social programs that will require taking away everyone’s money (increased taxation) ISN’T authoritarian, but whatever. Maybe that’s covered on the Left-Wing authoritarian test.

Left wing authoritarianism is a far bigger problem and danger. It has killd millions more worldwide.

That the feedback implies using sate power to increase diversity is ok just tells me it is probably a left winger who made he survey.

here's one I agreed to the max on, "People who base their worldview on progressive beliefs can be every bit as virtuous or good as the people who agree with the best conservative minds". However,

but I would say this is an extremely flawed 'test'. It carries the assumption that if you believe in the opposite of what Progressives believe, you want Hitler in charge. How does the one mean the other?

suggest to you, sir, madam, or other [you meaning test author]

The State? No, that's you who wants the state structuring things, I am quite sure I am 100% right about that. 100%. Different goal, OK, sure.

completely disinclined, sir, madam, or other

Quote:

as well able to see the value in some restrictions on free speech and other civil liberties

no, that's you again

and I do think it is sad the thought never occurred to sir, madam, or other, no doubt

You guys seem to be reading results into the answers that aren't there. No mention of "good" answer, or you must be "Hitler" was mentioned.

Also, if you didn't slide a bar to the complete negatvie or positive postition, it is going to say you're partially in favor of something, or partially against something.

If you didn't mean to be fully for or against something, you don't leave the rating bar in a position to give that result.

to be in favor of opposing some of the current Progressive ideas, like defund the police, say, does not mean you want the state to take action. Not even if you clicked all the way to the right. Sorry to mention Adolf but this thing is quite flawed.

That may be a result of the way you answered more than one question. But I don't know how it's calculated.

You can say one thing for certain on one question, but further questions reveal a different overall result.
