Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians.

A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with â€œpsychoticismâ€ now says it got it wrong. Very wrong.

The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has â€œan errorâ€ â€” and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism.

I'm guessing this "oft-cited study" now goes into the "conveniently ignored" file.
