I'm not aware of the Adorno work....don't know what the California F Scale is.....

The followers' traits are what interest me the most, because they don't make ANY SENSE to me!

They really frustrate me--the power GRABBER is easier to understand, but the self-blinding that followers need to engage in, in order to maintain the delusion that their authoritarian demagogues are right just confounds me.

Where can I get hold of the Adorno material?
