Right-wing authoritarians who also score high on left scales stay prejudiced

Evidence

I shall spare you the details of these six studies, except to say that the interesting results of the October 1991 experiment almost always reappeared. Mock LWA Scale scores stayed low. The four combos reappeared in similar proportions, with the Unauthoritarian Low-Lows and the Wild-Card High- Highs producing a positive if small correlation between RWA and LWA. The Wild Card Authoritarians always scored high on prejudice and other hostility scales. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2917
