They tend to share some particular traits. At Knozen, the personality site that I founded, we ask millions of personality questions each month of our more than 1 million users. Given the grip the Trump phenomenon has exerted on the American attention span, we wanted to see the personality differences (and similarities) between those who said they were and were not likely to vote Trump. Digging into the specific answers of more than 4,000 users, we found five differences and some similarities between Trump supporters and non-supporters. The specific results are indicated in bold below and are based on responses to more than 700,000 questions including “are you likely to vote for Trump?” According to Knozen’s personality research, Trump supporters are:Much more outgoing and organizedLess confident, less patient, much less shy, and . . . Very, very aggressive compared with non-supporters. We also found that Trump supporters are:Three times as likely to speak only one language,Twice as likely to have sold something in order to pay off a debt, and . . . Half as likely to be afraid of large crowds. Twice as likely to have cheated on someone, but . . . Half as likely to cheat on a board game.

take it for what it is worth, but I do see some of the traits come out on FR.

Tell me about it. I expressed some mild support for Cruz and was viciously attacked by some Freeper in a way that I've never been attacked on FR before. It was almost like I was in the DUmp.

The Trump voter is vested in common sense , and being 'fed up' with constant surrender in the face of victory ,
hypocrisy and ignoring the people's will .

Does FR need safe spaces too?

[arl295]

So, basically they are saying that Trump supporters are the true conservatives?

Interesting

I’ve been called more names over the past 4 months than in the entire previous 18 years. Oh well...

[Byron_the_Aussie]

LOL. Heads up, cheesehead:

CNN going on and on about % of Wisconsin GOPs "scared" of Trump. They should be scared -- we're moving the refugees to Wisconsin.

[BonneBlue]

They said same thing about the Tea Party.

[Stentor]

Was the attack in chalk?

[atc23]

Trump is a simple reaction to Bush/Obama/Romney/McCain/Ryan/GOPe/Reid/Pelosi

What did they think was going to happen?

.. I’ve been called more names over the past 4 months than in the entire previous 18 years ..

.. deservedly.

Quit stalking Trump fans and you won't be triggered, Huma.

Gee.....a NR article by a “concern ninny” with a website to hawk tells all (authoritatively no less, via unsubstantiated extensive analysis) that Trump supporters are EVERYTHING WRONG. How quaint.

Publish the data, methods and criteria by which it all was analyzed for shut the f@ck up.

Just more NR hate-Trump BS.

[skeeter]

Your just being a sophist.

[browniexyz]

Oh, THIS in the NRO? Pot.Kettle. Have you read Podhoretz’s tweets? LOL. Talk about aggressive...

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Trump voters have 'passion' !, an emotion, to change America from what is to principles of freedom and democracy.
Cruz voters have 'knowledge' and experience, to get things done properly according to Constitutional government procedure.
There needs to be a marriage of the two principles in order to affect any meaningful legal and Constitutional change.
