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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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, 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).

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?
