There are measurement issues across the board, but that is with respect to both left- and right-wing authoritarianism. There are questionnaires, commonly used questionnaires, to assess right-wing authoritarianism and to assess left-wing authoritarianism. They're different. The reason—let me give a little context— For a long time, people tried to develop nonpartisan politics.

authoritarianism scales if authoritarianism right psychological construct rather than a political one right and they couldn't really do it right because one of the core toxic elements of authoritarianism is a motivation to crush deprive of humanity and human rights one's political opponents

So you need to assess either right or left-wing authoritarianism vis-a-vis the attitudes towards one's opponents in order to measure the construct.

I say they have not succeeded. Actually, one of my current graduate students is... for her master's thesis in the process of trying to develop a nonpartisan authoritarianism scale. Based on that idea. Yes, based on that idea. I don't know if she's going to succeed.

So the first step forward, To do that is to develop scales that – survey questions that adequately get at left or right-wing authoritarianism and then correlate them with things measuring narcissism or sadism or whatever. People have done that on the left, and it does correlate with left-wing authoritarianism. Yeah. I don't know, you know, you never know for sure the limits of your own knowledge.

I don't know if anyone has even tried to do this on the right, or maybe they have and it doesn't actually correspond with narcissism on the right. It corresponds with other things on the right, but not so much with, well, if there's evidence on narcissism correlating with right-wing authoritarianism, I don't know it.
