The F Scale: Take the Fantabulous Fascism quiz!

http://www.anesi.com/fscale.htm

My score: 2.8

Hey, I'd rather be a "liberal airhead" than have to learn how to use my left hand for everything.

I can see that many of these questions would especially apply to the Fundamentalists (Christian or Islamic):

quote:

[1] Obedience and respect for authority are the most important virtues children should learn.

quote:

[16] Homosexuals are hardly better than criminals and ought to be severely punished.

quote:

[13] Sex crimes, such as rape and attacks on children, deserve more than mere imprisonment; such criminals ought to be publicly whipped, or worse.

quote:

[6] Every person should have complete faith in some supernatural power whose decisions he obeys without question.

Still, the test isn't all that great.

I got a 2.9, but really didn't know what to say to these questions:

[29] The wild sex life of the old Greeks and Romans was tame compared to some of the goings-on in this country, even in places where people might least expect it.

[30] The true American way of life is disappearing so fast that force may be necessary to preserve it.

How can you (dis)agree "strongly" with something like this? It seems to be more a case of whether one believe that it is correct

[24] It is best to use some prewar authorities in Germany to keep order and prevent chaos.
[You'll have to pretend it is 1946 when you answer this one

You are disciplined but tolerant; a true American.

3 to 4.5 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.)
