Science says liberals, not conservatives, are psychotic

Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians.

A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong.

The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism.

“The interpretation of the coding of the political attitude items in the descriptive and preliminary analyses portion of the manuscript was exactly reversed,” the journal said in the startling correction.

“The descriptive analyses report that those higher in Eysenck’s psychoticism are more conservative, but they are actually more liberal; and where the original manuscript reports those higher in neuroticism and social desirability are more liberal, they are, in fact, more conservative.”

The book “Kinsey Crime and Consequences” should be more widely read because it details the abuse of his research and political/personal motivations behind it.

And .. as all the liberals’ new “snowflakes” at college can substantiate; most of these people are already psychotic.

Good luck America; the liberals have screwed America again.

Report was obviously sabotaged by a liberal. They publish error-ridden pseudoscience stuff all the time such as the much quoted ‘scientific’ papers on global warming that doctored facts to show a false result.

Hmm....my guess is that it was a lower level techie who actually crunched the data that blew the whistle.

The principal researcher would generally be unwilling to admit he made a mistake.

I don’t know the details about Kinsey...but actually getting the details on how research was carried out is not easy.
I think it was a bit different back in Kinsey’s day though.

We did not need science to figure that out. And get ready, without any core principals, the left is going to get more insane every day. And everyone needs to realize that when your brain wants you to do something evil and self destructive, remember your core moral principals. They will guide you through what is coming. Perhaps that is why they are there.
