Abstract
Abstract The assertion that left-wing authoritarianism is a myth was investigated. Responses from 198 Australian undergraduates showed the “tough-minded” to be on either side of the Radical-Conservative divide, thus supporting Eysenck's (1954, 1975) hypothesis. Furthermore, rightists were found to hold authoritarian attitudes, whereas leftists were found to manifest antisubmissive behavior.

The value of the P scale rests on its validity as a measure of predisposition to psychosis, and that "only a verysmall proportion of people with high P scores are likely to develop a psychosis", since it does not discriminate the mentally ill from the healthy.

This brief rejoinder to Bishop's critique of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, and in particular the concept of psychoticism, emphasizes that when all the evidence now available is taken into account, the criticisms advanced by Bishop will be seen not to be tenable.
