ANALYSIS

High scorers have favourable attitudes to sexual freedom, freedom of speech and non-conformists of all kinds. Generally, they adopt an easy-going, tolerant and hedonistic view of life with respect for the right of every person to be and do as they think fit. An extreme score would indicate little idea of the need for any maintenance of social order.

Low scorers disaprove of all these things and favor strict censorship, legal control of so-called vices and severe punishment for offenders. They have little respect for viewpoints that may threaten the status quo. They feel the need to control and manipulate in order to safeguard the rightness of their own identities.
