F-scale as a method of estimating the authoritarian potential at the personality level

This article presents the basic psychodiagnostic method of revealing the authoritarian potential at the personality level in humans. This potential most notably manifests itself in aggressive, intolerant behaviourial tendencies towards outgroups. Constructed by Theodor Adorno, the F-scale questionnaire has been completely translated into Russian language, presented in an interactive format and tested on bearers of the Russian culture for the first time.
