    I wonder if any of our resident right wingers will volunteer their scores?

    I seriously was going to but when I saw question 2 I glanced down to see if they offset it with the opposite. I know y'all think of me as a sexist/racist but fact is and I have said it many times before I am just the opposite. I treat everybody the same.

    Not sure why you’re so hung up on the question, “strongly disagree”
    Is an option for an answer.

    I got a 36. I guess it was so high because I wish protestors would keep it down.

    It's a questionnaire with a clearly stated agenda - to ascertain a participants position on the right-wing authoritarian scale. Questions are selected and written to make that determination. The question you apparently resent not seeing is extraneous and off point. I think you know this, you're not dumb, but are using it as an excuse to not feel obligated to post your score. Amirite?

    ---------------------------------------

    Based on the many conversations I've had with my gullible and undereducated housekeeper, who accepts without question every Q conspiracy coming into her email box, I retook the test and answered each question as I am near certain she herself would have responded. Her proxy score is 169. Four points higher than the 165 I had estimated it would be.

    I would say because there’s no reason to ask. When my wife doesn’t “obey” me, nothing really happens. When I don’t “obey” my wife, the heavens part, fire and brimstone fallith from the sky, and there is much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    I was a 43, but some the questions were terrible IMO. There is a big difference between a valid protest and a “rabble rouser”, but they continually lumped them together. As mentioned, a wife obeying her husband is fine if he obeys her and it’s mutual.
    But that I am not remotely authoritarian doesn’t surprise me.

    Apparently I am the right wing of the left wing at a 48. A few I answered as indifferent.

    I went back a second/third time and answered the questions as “what’s the most extreme person I could consider normal”. If you’re over 101 or under 24 we ain’t getting beers together you whackos. A few of you just slid in there :)
