What Donald Trump’s Most Loyal Followers May Have in Common
What Donald Trump’s Most Loyal Followers May Have in Common
A new study investigates the personality characteristics that distinguish Donald Trump’s strongest supporters from other voters.
Saved you a click: "Even though the two investigations were conducted four years apart, a finding common to both was that the most loyal supporters of Donald Trump were likely to score high on the trait of conscientiousness."
The entire article is still worth a read, though.
Maybe I just don't know what "conscientious" means.
Conscientiousness, one of the Big Five personality traits, is defined as a tendency to control one’s impulses, be persistent, act dutifully, and live up to one’s obligations to others.
Conscientiousness has been linked to a variety of positive traits and behaviors, such as responsibility, dependability, hard work, goal orientation, self-control, and leadership. Some conscientious people, however, happen to be dogmatic, inflexible, unquestioningly obedient, and intolerant of uncertainty (i.e., they tend to see things in black-and-white)
I had the same thought.
likely to score high on the trait of conscientiousness

Had to read it after your comment.
Syphilis?
Room temperature IQs?

Gullibility.
Counterpoint: racism.
"Christianity"
From the article:

Seems somewhat damning of the Big 5 Model that one of the traits being high can mean two wildly different personalities. Perhaps they need a 6th factor, or perhaps personality inventories based on binary pairs of traits are about as accurate and useful as horoscopes?
I bet I score high in this but I am sure as heck not a trump supporter. I know stupid when I see it and live under if for four years.
You mean other than all being super weird creeps and/or squares?
