Title: The F Scale
Post by: ~flower~ on November 06, 2007, 11:11:54 AM
Fifty years ago, the Authoritarian Personality studies attempted to "construct an instrument that would yield an estimate of fascist receptivity at the personality level."

This online, interactive F Scale presents that instrument in its final form. Additional information, including an explanation of the personality variables the F Scale tries to measure, is given below after the questionnaire. So take the F Scale now --- or else!

3.5  Within normal limits; an appropriate score for an American. (The overall average score for groups tested in the original study is listed in the 1950 publication as 3.84, with men averaging somewhat higher and women somewhat lower.)

My problem is, besides an inability to round-off, is that I'm a liberal air head.  As long as you learn something new everyday!

I'd have beaten you too but I hate children.  The romantic drivel that we have something to learn from children possessing magical innocence is crapola.

Kids need beatings.  Ok, not beatings but discipline.  Children must be taught.  They can teach me nothing.

Oh jeez, I am Bush Man!

Nah, I'm liberal, but no way does a child know more than me... Sure, they do some cute shit and all, but when they step out of line, you have to show them who's boss.

Children NEED that... Without it, they end up all fucked up in the head.

Obedience and respect for authority are the most important virtues children should learn.I strongly disagreed on the base of "most important" This is not correct, several other things could be considered more important not that this isn't important.

Young people sometimes get rebellious ideas, but as they grow up they ought to get over them and settle down.I saw this as basically based in a common belief of rightwingers like Hannity that state many people start out liberals and end up conservatives, often falsely noting Churchill, I strongly disagreed

What the youth needs most is strict discipline, rugged determination, and the will to work and fight for family and country.again, I strongly disagreed based on this being what youth "need most" again, these are valid things, but not what I would call they need most.  Afterall, raise your kid right and he will have the mental capacity to analytically make the correct decisions.

I pretty much agree.  Obedience and respect for authority are very important, but I put honesty and integrity at the top of the list. 

I think people should keep their rebellious ideas, but as they grow up they need to learn how to pick their battles. 

Discipline, determination, and the will to work and fight, along with honesty, integrity, faith, a strong work ethic, compassion, common sense, etc.  All important factors for "the youth." 

Does that make me a liberal?  :-\
