ANALYSIS
Those with high scores are dogmatic. They have set, uncompromising views on most matters and are likely to defend them vigorously and vociferously. They are defending their identity by fixing it rigidly and they perceive many people as enemies or opponents.
Those with low scores are less rigid and less likely to see things in black and white. They are flexible and therefore open to rational persuasion and tolerant of uncertainty. They have the ability to learn from their mistakes, to develop themselves, to respect others and to think creatively. In the extreme, however, this may be a person who is confused, has low self-esteem and no real idea of what is right and wrong and is therefore easily swayed and manipulated.
How do you compare?
The norm on this trait is between 15-16 points (a statistical approximation). This may be represented on the following scale:
