Today, the most commonly used measure of the authoritarian personality is a set of four survey questions that ask respondents about — of all things — their views on child-rearing, ascertaining if they feel children should grow up in a way that produces independence and curiosity or obedience and respect for one’s elders. This measure is highly imperfect and contested and may just be an indicator of some other construct highly correlated with the authoritarian impulse, such as a preference for group conformity over individual autonomy. Still, it was this measure of the “authoritarian mindset” that one researcher found to be the only major predictor of whether or not a Republican voter in the 2016 Presidential Primary had supported Trump or one of his rivals.
