Test de l’échelle F / F-Scale Test

Testing your receptivity to authoritarian/fascist beliefs.
This historically significant (and problematic) test was designed by Theodor Adorno and associates in order to measure authoritarian and fascist tendencies in the general population.

Based on extensive empirical research, the authors of the F-Scale Test tried to demonstrate that some people are more prejudiced and intolerant than others and that these tendencies foster receptivity to authoritarian (and possibly fascist) beliefs.

« This makes you 26.4% less authoritarian than the average person »

Mouais… je ne suis pas très convaincu par ce test …

[zelos]

Hum, j’ai commencé, mais j’ai arrêté après 6 questions, c’était toujours disagree, et j’avais la flemme de faire les 28, ultra chiant de devoir sélectionner un degré de disagree, avec souris en plus.

C’est mal foutu ces trucs car les questions peuvent être interprétées de plusieurs façons, donc la flemme d’envisager toutes les possibilités avant de choisir le degré que l’on juge le plus correspondant, et les questions sont ultra génériques, y a aucun argumentaire.

Je suis surprise^^ Bon je ne comprenais pas bien tout, car traduis de l’anglais par Google donc pas forcément bien tout pigé. Sauf que j’étais très en désaccord avec pas mal de ces affirmations de fou.

Après ça m’a fichu les boules. Car je connais pleins de gens qui exploseraient les scores punaise.

C’est étonnant qu’on puisse être né dans le même pays,avoir grandis dans la même rue. Avoir été à la même école,etc.. Et penser si différemment.

Je ne sais pas qui a raison. Je sais juste que du côté des autoritaristes eux n’ont pas de doutes…

[zelos]

Quand je vois votre échelle de “Destructiveness-Cynicism”, vous me donnez envie de le faire.^^

[zelos]

C’est chaud de pas mettre que du max disagree partout avec des conneries comme

“Obedience and respect for authority are the most important virtues children should learn.”

Rien de plus con, c’est pas une vertu mais une débilité profonde !

[zelos]

Bon, c’était facile et rapide en fait, toujours le disagree au max, à part 2-3 neutres et 1 agree max (le truc sur la nature humaine et les conflits).

[zelos]

On aurait dit un truc fait pour l’américain moyen, ultra patriotique “Thank you for you service” et conformiste au maximum.
