Your score for right-wing authoritarianism was 11.36%

I think I might've gotten a slightly higher score than I should've, but who knows.

SHIT, LET'S BE RIGHT-WING AUTHORITARIANS:

Bit of a shit test, a lot of questions conflate stuff. Like for example,

Our country desperately needs a mighty leader who will do what has to be done to destroy the radical new ways and sinfulness that are ruining us.

What if these ways aren't new any more, but are well-established? And the opposition between legitimate authority and "noisy rabble-rousers" ignores the fact that the kind of movements it's ostensibly dealing with tend to be novel at their height, and thus arise in opposition to existing social order. Both Hitler and Donald Trump chose to run against an existing establishment that people aren't happy with, so this question is both historically stupid and not relevant to contemporary topics.

Honestly, this seems like some left wing academic Californian's "are you a bad guy" test. The only purpose it serves is giving you a low score or demonizing you for getting a high one, while allowing its creator to pat himself on the back for not getting a real job.

List of especially dumb statements:

• Atheists and others who have rebelled against the established religions are no doubt every bit as good and virtuous as those who attend church regularly. (Equivalent goodness could just as well be a negative, if answered by a fedora tipper)
• There is absolutely nothing wrong with nudist camps. (What does nudism have to do with authoritarianism? There's way too many reasons to have either opinion on this)
• Our country will be destroyed someday if... (Every country is destroyed eventually)
• A "woman's place" should be wherever she wants to be. The days when women are submissive to their husbands and social conventions belong strictly in the past.(A woman can do what she wants unless she wants what I don't want)

I ended up with a 46%, probably because I could think of caveats for most things and didn't use the extreme descriptors much at all. I would argue that this is, in fact, an indicator against the sort of dangerous thought patterns that this test endeavors to identify.

Consider for a moment that it was originally worded and written in 1947, right after the end of World War 2. If the opinions seem extreme or absurd, consider that those extreme mindsets did indeed exist (and strongly so) as the majority opinion in several major world powers at the time.

I personally know a large number of people who (from what I know of their opinions) would easily rank above 60 on the test. Try to step outside the mindset of the culture in which you exist today, and try to look at it from a dispassionate and honest perspective. These mindsets may be rare among the young, but they're not uncommon, let alone over the entire world.

Except the problem with it isn't "nobody thinks like that" it's "this is overly specific and conflates unrelated things". Now, I know it's old and we've made a lot of progress since then in both the understanding of the underlying principles of political thought, but if it's being posted for use rather than mere historical curiosity (e.g. "look how incompetent people used to be about collecting useful data!") it should be dealt with in a modern context. What's worse is that the end of the test asks for permission to use your results in research, which implies that somebody is actually using this ancient test for research purposes right now.

This reminds me of that one time I did the kinsey's sexuality test thing and the grade I got said that the test coudn't determine my preferences because apparently I'm a tentacle monster.

[TheBiggerFish]

What sexuality test now?

Test is far from being perfect, though, and I personaly find it a bit silly, but apparently I bork'd it.

[TheBiggerFish]

Apparently saying 'false' to a lot of things does that.

[TD1]

You have completed the personality test.

Below is the Kinsey scale, your result has been highlighted.

0   Exclusively heterosexual.

Well, I knew that, but thanks for telling me internet!

Tentacle monsters, unite!

Which is weird, because their "1" sounds about right for me.

[Putnam]

2   Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual.

[hops]

I got a 3 back then, but apparently I'm moving down to 4 now?

[Orange Wizard]

I failed.
