Mostly False
Low verbal IQ, being female, having a feminine temperament, agreeableness, and taking politically correct courses are predictors of being a politically correct authoritarian.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (37/100).
The claims regarding predictors of politically correct authoritarianism are controversial and lack strong empirical support. The claim that low verbal IQ is a predictor is supported by some sources, but these are not universally accepted in the academic community. Claims about gender, feminine temperament, and taking politically correct courses as predictors are not supported by credible evidence and are contradicted by research indicating no significant link. Agreeableness has some association with political correctness but not specifically with authoritarianism. Overall, the evidence does not robustly support these claims, and they should be considered speculative rather than factual.
