Am I an Authoritarian Quiz
The term 'authoritarian personality' originated with the writings of a German psychiatrist, Erin Fromm, in 1941. A person with this personality would have a strong aversion towards ambiguity and abstract thinking. If you prefer rigid rules and regulations and exhibit complete submission to authority, you might have wondered, "am I an authoritarian."rnWhether in power or ruled by power, authoritarians use and misuse power to manage their subordinates. An authoritarian personality usually forms during a person's formative years. And personality traits established at a young age have far-reaching effects on the individual as they grow up. Even if you have this personality or know someone who displays these traits, it would be wise to address it with the help of your social circles or a psychiatrist. Take this quiz to know if you are an authoritarian.
