So this test is far from perfect, but it is better than nothing. I am not the author of it. I am trying to compile a picture of GaG users on the authoritarianism dimension, and by taking the test and reporting your score you can help a lot! it is only 22 questions. Thanks in advance for taking test and reporting your score.

6.82% which I find to be an odd result since I strongly disagreed with every single question that stated an authorative response would be needed, and strongly agreed with every single question that stated one wouldn't (minus one in which i picked neutral).

I didn't accept the request to answer more questions for 4-8 minutes though, and denied storing my data for research because I feel like using these questionaires for a statistical study is idiotic for a few reasons.

1. Some of the questions are worded in a way that can't be answered, for example atheists being just as morally good as religious people. The answer I wanted to give is "religious people are way less moral in most cases, because good morals are based on facts, not assumptions", but it only let me choose if I agreed or disagreed, the problem is I agree with half the question.

2. Not everyone who takes the questionaire will be honest.

3. Not everyone will take the questionaire at all.

4. People change their minds all the time based on new information.

5. A new generation of people might have entirely different results, so as legacy data, it's useless even if you ignore the other issues above.

good criticisms - no test is perfect.

However some of those questions are very poorly written and vague and obviously purposefully written that way.

Here are my results:
These are the results of the Right-wing Authoritarianism Scale.

Your score for right-wing authoritarianism was 27.84%. Higher scores indicate more right-wing authoritarianism.

No real surprises. My country is suffering under an extreme authoritarian right wing government and the sheeple aren't even aware of it, or don't care.

My result :

[andreasderjuengere]

I was willing to take the test.
But the questions there are too ''American''

My self assessment instead: I am highly anti-authoritarian; but with a deep distrust towards the average intelligence of my fellow earthlings.

Please take the test and report your score here.

For the fun, I did this test three times.
Result:
1st : 16%
2nd: 93 % - 'manipulated'
3rd: 4.55 % - 'manipulated'
Whoever thought out this test deserves a job at McDonalds.

[msc545]

Thanks - of course, it can be manipulated. That isn't the point.

[OddBeMe]

Slightly apparently. More of a populist leaning. Probably my old age turning me…

[Archerer]

Hmm, strange! I also got 6.25...

I’ll be honest some of those questions were really fucking weird and specific lol.

[exitseven]

36% Some of the questions were a little ambiguous.

[goaded]

13%. A few of the questions are a bit of a joke.

[pokerbot]

Maybe they are a joke to you.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

No I am not.

[msc545]

I believe you. Will you take the test and report your score? It's 22 questions.
