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.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

From the article:

Conscientiousness has been linked to a variety of positive traits and behaviors, such as responsibility, dependability, hard work, goal orientation, self-control, and leadership.

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?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
