Even on the left-wing authoritarian scale, right-wing authoritarians dominate the high-scorers.

Evidence

The parents’ data essentially replicated these results, with 56 Low-Lows, 26 Low-Highs, 35 High-Lows, and 45 High-Highs. Overall, we again have relatively large numbers of Unauthoritarians and Wild Cards, who make the RWA-LWA correlation positive. If, in the absence of any pinnable authoritarian on the left, you are willing to talk about who comes closest to being such a species, you can find some Low RWAs, the Left-Wingers, in the upper quadrant of the LWA distribution. But as always they were heavily outnumbered in that upper quadrant in both samples by High RWAs, the Wild-Card Authoritarians, 46-22 and 45-26. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2956
