It's rare for anyone to be over the 30 percentile in authoritarianism without actually trying. And, without wanting to join chuch and state, it's also pretty hard to end up in the right. | People who are either in the right or authoritarian tend to be more objective than emotional in their reasoning. As a result, the questions are phrased in the emotional perspective. The people who are objective will recognize the arguments and answer them accordingly. |
Are you trying to rationalize that right or authoritarian people are more accurate with their stance? If so, you have laid grounds for potentially heated political debate. I think that most people who are more right and authoritarian do not see the views of others and would more quickly make a decision based on a bias or their specific cultural position, which, by every account but their own, is quite blind and closed minded, thus making many of their decisions less accurate for the whole. They cannot see any meaning behind or surrounding events as they look too closely at the events themselves. Though I know you are trying to make a separate point to the prior poster, one does not make such claims unless there is a further belief behind the statements in his/her subconscious. Saying subconscious, however, shows myself giving you the benefit of the doubt that you may not mean to be offensive to the differing populus, but if you do mean to have a bias so blatantly, then you are unfortunately acting out of a firm conscious belief giving more reason to my initial comment.
Copycon, cool thread btw. I've always wanted to know more about the minds on these forums.
