Personal self-placement, not ingroup placement, most strongly predicts white alt-right attitudes.

Evidence

First, because the “Last Place” profile was most strongly linked to alt-right extremism in both samples (despite minor variations in where the ingroup was placed), this suggests that the association to alt-right beliefs may be influenced more strongly by the relative placement of the self vs. the relative placement of the ingroup. — Erin Cooley, Jazmin L.
