Sartre’s phenomenological anti-Semite portrait nearly matched the empirically derived authoritarian syndrome.
Evidence
A footnote to the final chapter of The Authoritarian Personality observed: There is marked similarity between the syndrome which we have labeled the authoritarian personality and the
portrait of the anti-Semite' by Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre's brilliant paper became available to us after all our data had been collected and analyzed. That his phenomenologicalportrait’ should resemble so closely, both in general structure and in numerous details, the syndrome which slowly emerged from our empirical observations and quantitative analysis, seems to us remarkable. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 441
