@TheSeptikSkeptik Good questions and you'd have to ask Harley. There are lots of different studies on this. That I know.

@HoraceGreenley How is the retraction interesting? The original study was flawed. What are you implying from that? Read the study. It has nothing to do with which political position is more correct or who is crazier.

@Burnley123 Eyesnick's Psychoticism has nothing to do with mental illness. It's one of three possible personality traits from the P-E-N model of personality that was developed by Eyesnick, a psychologist. This entire study is being misconstrued to validate intellectually lazy people's beliefs.I found the NY post article he's referring to. All Harley had to do is read the article and it would have explained all of this to him. Psychosis and Eyesnick's Psychoticism are seemingly being conflated here.

Yeah, just as I thought. This is entirely misconstrued to play gotcha politics. The study was to test people who suffer from Eysenick's psychotiscism to see if they lean left or right. Of the sampling size of people of this personality type, they had found out that more people suffering from Eysenick's psychoticism held liberal beliefs. Neurotics were found to hold more conservative beliefs. This study in no way whatsoever makes any suggestions to what political belief is more correct. If you conclude that from this study, then you are a not very bright person who lacks reading comprehension skills. The very abstract from this study states that "personality traits do not cause people to develop political attitudes." Using this study to validate or invalidate other's claims or beliefs just shows how truly ignorant you are. Also I just want to point out that Eyesnick's Psychoticism is not what people are probably thinking. It's one of three personality traits developed by a psychologist, it doesn't even mean that the person with this personality trait is mentally ill. I can't believe how many people feel that this is somehow validating their beliefs.

@HoraceGreenley Is the fact that everything in this meme is wrong, including the misspelling of the word "hypocrite" supposed to be ironic or are people like you reposting this just that stupid?
