I could't believe this made any news, you know just figuring that it was something everyone already knew.  :thatsright:

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 “psychoticism” 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 “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism.

"Oh, uh, errr... whoops. Gee, how'd that happen?"

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