Anti-Semitism can be measured indirectly, without asking about Jews directly
Evidence
As you may remember, I mentioned a new idea to you which I was brooding over. It is a matter of identifying potential and actual anti-Semites purely by means of indirect indications, i.e. without any questions about Jews or about things which have obvious immediate connnections with anti-Semitism, such as hostility towards blacks, political fascism, etc. The
projective items' in the old Berkeley questionnaire already represented a start in this direction. I would like to go considerably beyond that, and produce anon-Jewish’ questionnaire capable of giving statistically reliable information on anti-Semitism. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 395
