    It was scored agree/disagree on these items, that were then given arbitrary (to me) weights (positive and negative) for “Anti-Hierarchical Aggression”, “Anti-Conventionalism”, and “Top-Down Censorship”:

    the inventory:
    • The rich should be stripped of their belongings and status.
    • Rich people should be forced to give up virtually all of their wealth.
    • If I could remake society, I would put people who currently have the most privilege at the very bottom.
    • America would be much better off if all of the rich people were at the bottom of the social ladder.
    • When the tables are turned on the oppressors at the top of society, I will enjoy watching them suffer the violence that they have inflicted on so many others.
    • Most rich Wall Street executives deserve to be thrown in prison.
    • Constitutions and laws are just another way for the powerful to destroy our dignity and individuality.
    • The current system is beyond repair.
    • We need to replace the established order by any means necessary.
    • Political violence can be constructive when it serves the cause of social justice.
    • Certain elements in our society must be made to pay for the violence of their ancestors.
    • If a few of the worst Republican politicians were assassinated, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
    • I would prefer a far-left leader with absolute authority over a right-wing leader with limited power.
    • Schools should be required by law to teach children about our country’s history of racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia.
    • Anyone who opposes gay marriage must be homophobic.
    • Deep down, just about all conservatives are racist, sexist, and homophobic.
    • People are truly worried about terrorism should shift their focus to the nutjobs on the far-right.
    • The “old-fashioned ways” and “old-fashioned values” need to be abolished.
    • Radical and progressive moral values can save our society.
    • All political conservatives are fools.
    • I cannot imagine myself becoming friends with a political conservative.
    • Conservatives are morally inferior to liberals.
    • It is important that we destroy the West’s nationalist, imperialist values.
    • I try to expose myself to conservative news sources.
    • There is nothing wrong with Bible camps.
    • I hate being around non-progressive people.
    • Classroom discussions should be safe places that protect students from disturbing ideas.
    • University authorities are right to ban hateful speech from campus.
    • I should have the right not to be exposed to offensive views.
    • To succeed, a workplace must ensure that its employees feel safe from criticism.
    • We must line up behind strong leaders who have the will to stamp out prejudice and intolerance.
    • When we spend all of our time protecting the right to “free speech” we’re protecting the rights of sexists, racists, and homophobes at the cost of marginalized people.
    • I am in favor of allowing the government to shut down right-wing internet sites and blogs that promote nutty, hateful positions.
    • Colleges and universities that permit speakers with intolerant views should be publicly condemned.
    • Getting rid of inequality is more important than protecting the so-called “right” to free speech.
    • Fox News, right-wing talk radio, and other conservative media outlets should be prohibited from broadcasting their hateful views.
    • Even books that contain racism or racial language should not be censored.
    • I don’t support shutting down speakers with sexist, homophobic, or racist views.
    • Neo-Nazis ought to have a legal right to their opinions.
