Shouldn't it be "whingeing rotter"? (grin)


Fifty years ago, the Authoritarian Personality studies attempted to "construct an instrument that would yield an estimate of fascist receptivity at the personality level."

Your F Score is: 1.77
You are a whining rotter.

The test in its final (early 1950s) form is here.

This one is a period piece, just for the wording of the questions...

Oh, the Adorno F-scale. Yeah, that's a classic. They've since come up with a revision that's supposed to be more subtle, but I can't find it online. (Unsurprisingly. Usually when these things are in active use there's an attempt to keep them private.)

It'll be the downfall of us all, you know.
But what fun we'll have in the mean time!

At 2.23 (a bit overprecise surely?) I'm a liberal airhead too!
